Let go by Buffalo The Bills cut Wilkerson from the practice squad Tuesday, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Wilkerson joined the Bills' practice squad in late August after failing to make the 53-man roster at the end of training camp. He was not elevated to the active roster through the Bills' first eight games and will now look to join a team in need of depth at wide receiver. He has appeared in nine regular-season games since entering the league in May of 2020 as an undrafted free agent.

NOVEMBER 5 • ROTOWIRE

Back with Buffalo The Bills signed Wilkerson to their practice squad Wednesday, Alec White of the team's official site reports.

Impact Wilkerson has played in nine games since entering the league as an undrafted free agent in 2020, recording six receptions for 60 yards and three touchdowns in that span.

MAY 20 • DEADSPIN.COM

Signs with Buffalo Wilkerson signed with the Bills on Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Impact The wide receiver worked out for Buffalo last Wednesday. Wilkerson has appeared in nine regular-season games across four seasons with the Patriots and Raiders, recording six catches for 60 yards and three touchdowns. He has only played on 30 special-teams snaps in his career as well, so it may be hard for him to make the Bills.

MAY 19 • ROTOWIRE

Out in Las Vegas Wilkerson was released by the Raiders on Monday.

Impact Wilkerson inked a reserve/future contract with the Raiders in early January, but the team has now decided to party ways with the 28-year-old wideout. Over the past two seasons, he appeared in five games for Las Vegas, catching two of three targets for 18 yards and a touchdown while playing 99 total snaps (84 offensive, and 15 on special teams). Now a free agent, Wilkerson will look to catch on with a team in need of wide receiver depth.

MAY 12 • ROTOWIRE

Getting another opportunity Wilkerson signed a reserve/future contract with the Raiders on Monday.

Impact Wilkerson has spent most of the last two seasons in Las Vegas, mainly on their practice squad. The 27-year-old appeared in three games for the Raiders last season though, making two catches on three targets for 18 yards and a touchdown.

JANUARY 6 • ROTOWIRE

Back to practice squad Wilkerson reverted to the Raiders' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Impact Wilkerson was limited to nine snaps on special teams in Sunday's 28-13 loss to the Buccaneers. It was the third and final time the Raiders were allowed to elevate Wilkerson from the practice squad, and Las Vegas would have to signed the 27-year-old wide receiver to the active roster in order for him to keep playing in black and silver.

DECEMBER 10, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Elevated by Vegas for Week 14 The Raiders elevated Wilkerson from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.

Impact It's the third and final time Wilkerson can be elevated by the Raiders from the practice squad. He was last elevated for Week 7 against the Rams, during which he logged 24 snaps (18 on offense, six on special teams) but did not show up on the box score. Wilkerson's elevation gives the Raiders insurance at wide receiver in case Jakobi Meyers (ankle) is unable to play against the Buccaneers on Sunday.

DECEMBER 8, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to practice squad Wilkerson reverted to the Raiders' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

Impact Wilkerson was elevated to the active roster for the second week in a row, failing to record any stats in the team's 20-15 loss to the Rams. The wide receiver played 18 of the team's 79 offensive snaps, which was the fourth-highest total amongst players at his position. With Davante Adams now with the Jets and Jakobi Meyers (ankle) still banged up, it's possible that Wilkerson is active again in Week 8 versus Kansas City.

OCTOBER 22, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Elevated for Week 7 Wilkerson was elevated from the Raiders' practice squad to the active roster Saturday.

Impact It'll be the second-straight week that Wilkerson has been elevated from the practice squad. It comes in the wake of Davante Adams being traded to the Jets on Tuesday and Jakobi Meyers (ankle) being listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Rams. Wilkerson caught two passes (on three targets) for 18 yards and a touchdown during the Raiders' Week 6 loss to the Steelers.

OCTOBER 19, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Moves back to practice squad Wilkerson reverted to Las Vegas' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Impact With Davante Adams (hamstring) and Jakobi Meyers (ankle) both out Week 6 against Pittsburgh, Wilkerson was brought up from the practice squad and played on 27 of the Raiders' 63 offensive snaps. He caught just two passes (on three targets) for 18 yards but accounted for one of the team's two touchdowns with a nine-yard score. The elevation was Wilkerson's first of the campaign, and he could be called upon again Week 7 against the Rams if Adams and/or Meyers misses another contest.

OCTOBER 15, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Catches nine-yard TD in 2024 debut Wilkerson caught two of three targets for 18 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 32-13 loss to the Steelers.

Impact Wilkerson, who was elevated from the practice squad for Sunday's contest, found the end zone in his first action of the season on a nine-yard pass from quarterback Aidan O'Connell, which came on a fourth and two with less than five minutes remaining in the fourth quarter. If at least one of Jakobi Meyers (ankle) or Davante Adams (hamstring) remains out for the Raiders' Week 7 matchup against the Rams, Wilkerson could once again see himself elevated from the practice squad.
