Morris played 22 of the Bills' 72 snaps on offense and hauled in his lone target for a 12-yard gain in Sunday's 34-31 win over the Dolphins in the wild-card round.
What it means:
Morris' reception came on the first snap of a five-play scoring drive late in the third quarter that culminated in a Gabe Davis touchdown reception to push Buffalo's lead to 10 points. As per usual, Morris played second fiddle to starting tight end Dawson Knox (61 snaps, 3-20-1 receiving line on five targets), and the two are likely to maintain a significant gap in playing time so long as Knox is healthy for the duration of Buffalo's playoff run.
Morris isn't listed on Wednesday's injury report.
What it means:
Morris was ruled inactive for last Thursday's win over the Patriots due to an illness, but he's had plenty of time to recover and should be good to go for Sunday's matchup against the Jets. Across 10 appearances, Morris has caught seven of 10 targets for 70 yards.
Morris (illness) has been ruled inactive for Thursday's game against the Patriots.
What it means:
Morris did not participate in Buffalo's practices Sunday and Tuesday due to an illness before returning in full Wednesday. However, he still appears to be dealing with the effects of this ailment, and he will now miss his first game since Week 1 as a result. With Morris sidelined, Dawson Knox and Tommy Sweeney will serve as the Bills' only available tight ends versus New England.
Morris (illness) is considered questionable to play Thursday versus the Patriots.
What it means:
Morris failed to practice in either of the Bills' in-person sessions this week before being considered a full participant in Wednesday's walkthrough, leaving his status for Thursday up in the air as he continues to deal with an illness. If he's unable to go, Tommy Sweeney could see a slight uptick in usage in Week 13.
Morris (illness) didn't practice Tuesday.
What it means:
Morris has missed the first two practices of Week 13 prep and was sidelined for Sunday's unofficial session due to an illness. He'll have only one more chance to practice before the team needs to make a decision on his status for Thursday's matchup against New England.
Morris (illness) will not practice Sunday, Sal Capaccio of WGR Sports Radio 550 Buffalo reports.
What it means:
Morris will start the work week sitting out, as the team is holding a practice Sunday due to the Bills playing Thursday against the Patriots. The 23-year-old has played a limited but consistent role as the backup to Dawson Knox this season. He did record a catch on his lone target for three yards in Thursday's win over the Lions, which was his first catch since Week 5 against the Steelers. If Morris is unable to play Week 13, Tommy Sweeney will likely find himself active against New England.
