Cole Beasley is back with the Buffalo Bills, who signed the veteran slot receiver to the practice squad on Tuesday.

Beasley caught 82 passes with Buffalo in both 2020 and 2021 but was released by the Bills in March to save $6.1 million against the salary cap.

He briefly joined the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and caught four passes for 17 yards in two games before abruptly retiring on Oct. 5.

Beasley, 33, said at the time he was ready to be a “full time dad,” and Buccaneers coaches said they were caught by surprise.

Over 11 NFL seasons, he has 554 receptions for 5,726 yards and 34 touchdowns in 151 games (50 starts) with the Dallas Cowboys (2012-18), Buffalo Bills (2019-21) and Buccaneers.

The Bills also signed defensive tackle Brandin Bryant to the 53-man roster Tuesday and released defensive tackle C.J. Brewer and practice squad receiver Marquez Stevenson in corresponding moves.
