The Buffalo Bills announced that they have elevated veteran wide receiver Gabe Davis from the practice squad ahead of their Thursday night matchup with the Houston Texans. Buffalo also elevated rookie tight end Keleki Latu from the practice squad. It’s the second elevation for both players.
Davis, 26, caught three passes for 40 yards last week in his 2025 debut against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He saw four targets from quarterback Josh Allen on 23 offensive snaps. While he played fewer snaps than every wideout other than Mecole Hardman Jr., it was clear that Allen trusted Davis in big spots. Allen and Davis hooked up to convert a fourth-down try on their first target together.
Davis is expected to be active tonight in place of second-year man Keon Coleman, who reportedly will be a healthy scratch for the second consecutive week. Davis was a starter last week, but it was Tyrell Shavers who led the team in receiver snaps, targets, catches, yards, and touchdowns. We’ll see if those trends continue tonight against the No. 1-ranked Houston defense.
For Latu, who made his NFL debut last week, tonight offers a chance to build on a solid first game. He played on just six offensive snaps, but he caught his only target for a four-yard gain.
