Kumerow has made the Bills' initial 53-man roster, The Buffalo News reports.
EDGE Analysis
The journeyman out of Wisconsin-Whitewater had a fantastic summer and leapfrogged some other receivers to nab a roster spot. He'll need some injuries to have meaningful fantasy value, but he's exceeded expectations so far and both Josh Allen and previous teammate Aaron Rodgers have raved about his size and athletic ability, so keep his name in your back pocket in case injuries strike the high-powered Buffalo offense.

Kumerow has stood out early in training camp, making frequent eye-popping plays, Dante Lasting of the Bills' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
The journeyman, who flipped between the Bills' roster and practice squad last season, appeared to be on the outside looking in for a roster spot when he was re-signed, and while that may still be the case he's putting himself in serious running for the final WR spot. Kumerow has held his own against star cornerback Tre'Davious White throughout camp and has drawn praise from his teammates for the athleticism he's showing coming from a guy his size. The Bills' top four receiving spots are locked up and the fifth will likely go to jack-of-all-trades Isaiah McKenzie, but Kumerow is certainly right up there if the Bills go with six receivers or one of the top five suffers an injury.

Kumerow signed a reserve/future contract with the Bills on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Kumerow spent the majority of the 2020 season in Buffalo but was claimed by the Saints in late December. In six games with the Bills, he recorded one 22-yard touchdown reception across 17 offensive reps, his only reception of the season.

The Saints signed Kumerow to the practice squad Wednesday, Amie Just of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Saints claimed Kumerow off waivers back in December but he was cut before appearing in a game. The 28-year-old will now get a chance to compete for a depth gig on the team's practice squad.

The Saints waived Kumerow on Saturday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kumerow didn't play a game for the Saints before being cut. Previously, Kumerow played six games for the Bills this season, logging just 17 snaps on offense and a 22-yard touchdown grab on his lone target.

Kumerow was claimed off waivers by the Saints on Friday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 28-year-old was waived by the Bills on Thursday after catching his first touchdown with the team last weekend, and he didn't make it through waivers unclaimed. Kumerow obviously won't be available for Friday's matchup with the Vikings, but he should officially join the Saints' active roster ahead of Week 17.

Kumerow was let go Thursday, the Bills' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bah humbug. Kumerow caught his first TD pass for the Bills last weekend in the rout over Denver, but such is life in the NFL. We're pretty sure the Bills would like him back on their practice squad if no other team's interest was piqued by last week's score.

The Bills signed Kumerow to the active roster from the practice squad Wednesday, Maddy Glab of the team's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kumerow has been a practice squad elevation for Buffalo's last three games, and he's shown enough for the team to now sign him to the active roster. The 28-year-old wideout hasn't yet been targeted this season, and he's mostly played on special teams in three appearances, but the placement of John Brown (ankle) on IR could allow him more opportunities.

The Bills elevated Kumerow to the active roster Saturday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kumerow has played two games for the Bills this year. He's seen most of his work on special teams, playing just three snaps on offense. The 28-year-old wide receiver has an opportunity to earn a longer stay on the active roster following news that John Brown (ankle) has been placed on injured reserve.

Kumerow reverted to the Bills' practice squad Monday after playing 17 special-teams snaps during Sunday's 32-30 loss to the Cardinals, per the NFL's official transaction log.
EDGE Analysis
The former Packer collected zero snaps on the offensive side while going without a statistical contribution of note on special teams. Kumerow signed with Buffalo's practice squad Sept. 8, but he didn't make his Bills debut until Week 9. With appearances in consecutive games, there's a reasonable chance Kumerow is elevated once again for a Nov. 29 matchup against the Chargers following Buffalo's Week 11 bye.
