Buffalo Bills wide receiver Chase Claypool landed on injured reserve Tuesday due to a lingering toe injury.

Claypool last practiced on July 28.

The 26-year-old Claypool was looking for a fresh start in Buffalo after spending his first four NFL seasons in three different cities. He signed a one-year, $1.1 million deal with the Bills in May.

The Steelers selected the Canadian in the second round of the 2020 NFL Draft. He spent two seasons with Pittsburgh and tallied 11 touchdowns and 889 yards from scrimmage in his first season in 16 games (six starts).

In 2021, he started 13 of his 15 games played and gained 956 yards from scrimmage with two touchdowns. He was traded to the Chicago Bears in November 2022 for a 2023 second-round pick that the Steelers used on Joey Porter Jr.

Unhappy in Chicago, Claypool was traded to the Miami Dolphins last October with a 2025 seventh-round pick for a 2025 sixth-round pick. He totaled eight receptions for 77 yards and a touchdown last season.

Speaking of the rash of injuries training-camp injuries to hit the Bills, head coach Sean McDermott said recently it was unfortunate the coaching staff wasn’t getting a good look at the players.

“It’s just hard to evaluate when the players aren’t out there, whether it’s Chase or anybody,” he said. “And I know he’s fighting like crazy to get back, and we’re anxious to have him back.”

Claypool has caught 175 passes for 2,261 yards and 13 touchdowns in 58 games (32 starts).
