Signed to Buffalo's practice squad
The Bills signed Cain to the practice squad Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Cain hasn't suited up for NFL regular-season action since 2020 when he played two games with the Steelers, but he's recorded 65 receptions for 787 yards and eight touchdowns in the regular season and postseason across the last two springs with the USFL/UFL's Birmingham Stallions. Now, the 2018 sixth-round pick will compete to carve out a deep depth role with Buffalo.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2019
2018
Cain joined the Steelers mid-season last year and provided little more than roster depth at wide receiver. With JuJu Smith-Schuster, Diontae Johnson, James Washington and rookie Chase Claypool ahead of him, Cain will be hard-pressed for playing time if he even makes the 53-man roster.
