Bills' Justin Shorter: Lands on IR
The Bills placed Shorter on injured reserve Wednesday with a hamstring injury, Katherine Fitzgerald of The Buffalo News reports.
Shorter, a fifth-round pick out of Florida, made the Bills' initial 53-man roster after finishing the preseason with six catches for 66 yards and a touchdown while also contributing to special teams. However, after picking up the hamstring injury and going on IR, he'll be required to miss at least the first four games of the season. Once activated, Shorter will likely handle a depth role in the Bills' receiving corps.

Bills' Justin Shorter: Signs rookie deal
Shorter signed a four-year contract with Buffalo on Thursday, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.
Shorter, a fifth-round pick out of Florida, was one of five members of the Bills' draft class to agree to a standard rookie deal, with O'Cyrus Torrence, Dorian Williams, Nick Broeker and Alex Austin also putting pen to paper on contracts. Shorter has his work cut out for him just to earn a spot on the 53-man roster for Week 1, though as high-powered as the Bills offense can be, there are no established wideouts currently on the roster after Stefon Diggs and Gabe Davis.

Bills' Justin Shorter: Links up with Buffalo
The Bills selected Shorter in the fifth round of the 2023 NFL Draft, 150th overall.
The Bills are adding some serious size to their pass-catching group with first-round TE Dalton Kincaid and now Shorter. A five-star recruit out of high school in 2018, Shorter never really latched on at Penn State and ultimately transferred to Florida. He was a two-year contributor for the Gators and amassed 1,127 combined receiving yards in his final two seasons. Though Shorter has flaws to his game, he's a good athlete (4.55 40) for his size (6-foot-4, 229) and compares physically to Gabe Davis. At best, Shorter will be a backup to Davis in that role in the Buffalo offense, and it's unlikely that he will develop into an every-down player.
