The Bills elevated Gentry from their practice squad Wednesday ahead of their Thanksgiving game against Detroit.
Analysis: This is Gentry's third elevation of the season, as he was also active in Weeks 5 and 11. He's played 18 offensive snaps over two contests and has drawn only one target, which he did not catch. Barring injuries ahead of him, Gentry is unlikely to play a significant role Thursday against the Lions.

Gentry reverted to the Bills' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Analysis: Gentry was activated from Buffalo's practice squad for the first time this season with wideouts Jake Kumerow (ankle) and Jamison Crowder (ankle) both out Sunday. The 27-year-old played just 11 offensive snaps and failed to record a catch on his lone target during this 38-3 blowout win over Pittsburgh. However, Gentry could be a likely candidate for two more elevations from the Bills' practice squad after Crowder was placed on injured reserve Monday.

The Bills elevated Gentry on Saturday from their practice squad to their active roster for Sunday's contest against the Steelers, Matt Parrino of The Syracuse Post-Standard reports.
Analysis: With Jake Kumerow and Jamison Crowder sidelined due to ankle injuries, Gentry will get his first opportunity on the Bills' active roster. The 27-year-old wideout hasn't appeared in an NFL game since he caught three of six targets for 35 yards across four games with the Bears in 2017.

The Bills re-signed Gentry to the practice squad Wednesday.
Analysis: Gentry will join the Bills' practice squad for the second time since being waived in late August as part of the team's final roster cuts heading into the start of the regular season.

Gentry (knee) joined the Bills' practice squad Wednesday, Alec White of the team's official site reports.

Gentry (knee/hamstring) is questionable to return to Friday's preseason contest against the Panthers.
Analysis: Per Jay Skurski of The Buffalo News, Gentry was looked at by trainers on the sideline, but the extent of the issue remains unclear. The 27-year-old wideout hasn't seen game action in the regular season since 2017 and spent the 2021 campaign on Buffalo's practice squad after failing to make the team's season-opening roster.
Aug 26, 2022 5:49 PM EST
Gentry signed a reserve/future contract with the Bills on Monday.
Analysis: Gentry spent the 2021 campaign on the practice squad after failing to make Buffalo's season-opening roster, and he'll stick around the organization for now. He hasn't seen game action since 2017 when he appeared in four games with the Bears during his rookie campaign.

Buffalo cut Gentry on Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Gentry linked with Buffalo's practice squad during the playoffs last season, and he managed to stick with the team via a reserve/future contract, but he couldn't secure a regular-season roster spot for 2021. However, he will be a candidate to sign with the practice squad again as long as he clears waivers.

Jan 26, 2021 7:51 PM EST
Gentry was signed to Buffalo's practice squad Monday, Dante Lustig of the Bills' official site reports.
Analysis: The high-flying Bills rely heavily on numerous wide receivers, so they are loading up on reserves heading into the playoffs. However, the Bills also signed Kenny Stills to the practice squad as well, and it would seem far more likely Stills would get the call if the team needs more help in the playoffs.
Jan 4, 2021 9:16 AM EST
Gentry caught three passes for 31 yards in the Bears' loss to the Giants.
Analysis: After shining in the 2018 preseason, Gentry followed up his zero-catch performance of last week with an efficient, but unspectacular follow up. He's currently buried on the depth chart, and it appears that he faces long odds of cracking the 53-man roster.
Aug 19, 2019 4:47 AM EST
Gentry failed to catch either of his two targets in Chicago's 23-13 loss to Carolina.
Analysis: Although he's shined at times over the previous two preseasons, Gentry is buried on a depth chart that goes 10 deep at wide receiver. Unless he can put together an amazing preseason, he may be fighting an uphill battle to secure a roster spot for the regular season.
Aug 9, 2019 8:35 AM EST
The Bears signed Gentry to a reserve/future contract Tuesday.
Analysis: Gentry appeared in four games with the Bears in 2017, hauling in three of six targets for 35 yards. However, despite leading the team in receptions during the 2018 preseason, he failed to make the 53-man roster. He'll have another opportunity to do so after signing a reserve/future contract.
Jan 8, 2019 5:56 PM EST
Gentry was released by the Bears on Saturday, Adam Jahns of the Chicago Sun Times reports.
Analysis: Gentry led the Bears in receptions throughout the preseason, but still wasn't able to secure a spot on the team's 53-man roster. He'll be placed on waivers before potentially returning as a practice squad candidate.
Sep 1, 2018 2:02 PM EST
Gentry caught six passes for 54 yards Thursday against the Bengals.
Analysis: Gentry led the Bears with 11 targets, but he primarily played with the third-string offense in the second half. Although he's been solid in camp for the second-consecutive year, he's battling for a roster spot, and there's a strong possibility he finds his way on the practice squad as he did for most of the 2017 season.
