Inks reserve/future contract The Browns signed Stevenson to a reserve/future contract Monday.

Impact Stevenson opened the regular season on Buffalo's IR with a foot injury and was activated Dec. 6, but he was quickly waived the following day. The second-year wideout then spent a short stint on the Bills' practice squad before joining up with Cleveland's in mid-December. Stevenson finished the 2022 campaign without appearing in a game, and he'll now compete for an active-roster spot with the Browns this offseason.

Let go from practice squad Stevenson was cut from the practice squad Tuesday, the Bills' official site reports.

Impact The sixth-rounder from last season has played only five games with the Bills while dealing with some injuries and difficulty getting up to speed with the pro game. For now, the playoff-bound Bills are looking more for experience than speed, so they signed Cole Beasley on Tuesday while Stevenson was on the way out.

Impact Stevenson will return to practice Wednesday and officially start the 21-day window for the Bills to either activate him or leave him on IR for the rest of the 2022 campaign. The wide receiver has been unavailable since the start of the season and doesn't have a clear path to usage in the offense once healthy. However, Stevenson can fly and might be utilized in the return game.

Impact Stevenson left practice early Tuesday with the injury and has since undergone a procedure that may sideline him to start the regular season. The 2021 sixth-round draft pick appeared in five games last year and handled punt return duties, but due to the injury, he may have a tough time making the initial 53-man roster this season.

No quick return Stevenson (foot) will miss "weeks," head coach Sean McDermott said Thursday, Katherine Fitzgerald of The Buffalo News reports.

Impact Stevenson left practice early Tuesday with the injury, and it was reported he would need further evaluation. The injury is a blow to the speedy second-year-pro, as any missed time on the field will certainly impact his chances to earn a roster spot. A sixth-round selection in the 2021 Draft, Stevenson appeared in five games last year and handled punt return duties.

Comes off IR Stevenson has been activated off injured reserve ahead of Thursday night's game against the Saints, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports. He's missed the entire season t...

Impact Now that he's been activated, we'll see if the rookie sixth-rounder suits up for what's become a huge game for the reeling Bills at New Orleans. If Stevenson does play, Buffalo will be looking for his top-end speed to boost the special teams, though we wouldn't be surprised if the Bills tossed out a gadget play involving Stevenson, either.

Gearing up for return Bills head coach Sean McDermott confirmed that Stevenson (head) has been designated for return from injured reserve Tuesday, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.

Impact The transaction opens up a 21-day window for the Bills to evaluate Stevenson in practice, and McDermott didn't rule out the possibility of the sixth-round rookie out of Houston playing in Thursday's game against the Saints, per Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic. Stevenson was a preseason star, but he got banged up along the way and was ultimately the team placed on injured reserve ahead of Week 1. There's not much room in the receiving corps on this high-powered offense unless injuries strike, but the special-teams group could perhaps use a boost, and Stevenson can fly. If he gets activated in the next few weeks, Stevenson's ability to contribute in the return game is probably his best path to seeing the field on game days.

Not practicing Wednesday Stevenson (head) didn't practice Wednesday, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Stevenson is eligible to rejoin the team at any point after spending the mandatory three weeks on IR. However, he may need some more time to recover from the head injury he sustained during the preseason. When healthy, the rookie sixth-round pick will look to compete for a reserve spot as a depth receiver and kick returner.

SEPTEMBER 29, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Sent to injured reserve The Bills placed Stevenson (head) on injured reserve Wednesday.

Impact Stevenson made Buffalo's initial 53-man roster, so he will be eligible to come off IR as early as Week 4 against the Texans. The rookie sixth-round pick projects to operate as a depth receiver and factor in the return game when healthy.

Makes Buffalo's squad Stevenson (head) has made the Bills' initial 53-man roster, The Buffalo News reports.

Impact The sixth-round rookie from Houston can all out fly, and even though he may be the seventh wide receiver in the pecking order, the Bills likely didn't want to expose his upside to the waiver wire. Stevenson is also expected to serve as a return option behind top guy Isaiah McKenzie.

SEPTEMBER 1, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Evaluated for head injury Stevenson was evaluated for a head injury during the Bills' 19-0 win against the Packers on Saturday.

Impact Stevenson returned from a foot injury to play in the Bills' preseason finale, but he was pulled from the contest to be evaluated for the head injury. The rookie has been competing for a spot on the wide receiver depth chart throughout the preseason. Stevenson has also flashed as a punt returner, scoring a 79-yard touchdown on a punt return in Buffalo's game against the Bears in Week 2 of the preseason. The 5-foot-10, 182-pounder was building a solid case to make the team as a contributor on special teams; however, his potential head injury may have an impact on his ability to make the final cut.

AUGUST 28, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Misses Wednesday's practice Stevenson continues to sit out practice after suffering a foot injury Saturday, as he missed Wednesday's session, Dante Lasting of the Bills' official site reports.

Impact The speedy rookie out of Houston is in the running for one of the final receiving spots. He's also being pegged as a potential return man -- he took a punt to the house Saturday -- though Isaiah McKenzie appears close to locking down the top return job for the Bills.

Questionable to return Stevenson is considered questionable to return to Saturday's preseason game against the Bears due to a foot/ankle injury, Matthew Fairburn of The Athletic reports.

Impact Stevenson is apparently undergoing X-rays in on the injury to get a better idea of the severity. When healthy, the Bills' sixth-round pick is competing for a job contributing on special teams and providing depth at receiver.
