Baylon Spector: Gets look from Carolina
The Panthers hosted Spector (calf) for a workout Monday, Howard Balzer of USA Today reports.
Spector reached an injury settlement with the Bills in mid-August, and he's looking to join a team in need of linebacker depth now that he has fully recovered from his calf injury. The 2022 seventh-rounder appeared in 11 regular-season games (four starts) for Buffalo in 2024 and logged 40 tackles (22 solo), including 1.5 sacks, and a fumble recovery.

Baylon Spector: Reaches injury settlement
Spector (calf) and the Bills reached an injury settlement Sunday, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.
Spector was placed on injured reserve by Buffalo on Thursday, but he will now be able to test the open market. The linebacker suffered a calf injury at practice Monday, and he'll have to pass a physical in order to sign elsewhere.

Bills' Baylon Spector: Bound for injured reserve
Spector (calf) reverted to Buffalo's injured-reserve list Thursday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Spector wasn't claimed by another team after he was waived by the Bills on Wednesday with an injury designation. He'll go on the Bills' IR, which will force him to sit out for the entire 2025 season unless he can reach an injury settlement with the team. Spector appeared in 11 regular-season games (four starts) for the Bills in 2024 and posted 40 tackles (22 solo), including 1.5 sacks, and one fumble recovery.

Baylon Spector: Waived with injury designation
Spector (calf) was designated as waived/injured by the Bills on Wednesday.
Spector will revert to injured reserve if he clears waivers. While he's dealt with injuries ever since being drafted in 2022, the 26-year-old has made a decent impact when healthy, tallying 40 tackles over 11 regular-season games in 2024, but has never played more than 11 games in any of his three campaigns. His current calf injury goes all the way back to last season, which caused him to miss much of the remainder of the regular season and playoffs.

Bills' Baylon Spector: Leaves practice early
Spector (calf) exited practice early Monday, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.
Spector had been dealing with a calf injury since Week 10 of the 2024 season, which caused him to miss nine games total, but he was participating in OTAs back in July. It's unclear if the 26-year-old aggravated the injury Monday or if it's a separate calf issue, but if he's out an extended period of time, it could impact his chances of making the final 53-man roster.

Bills' Baylon Spector: Past calf injury
Spector (calf) participated in Wednesday's practice, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.
Spector dealt with a calf injury for the entire 2024 season, which caused him to miss nine games (including the Bills' three playoff games). He looks to be fully healthy for the start of training camp, and Glab relays that the 2022 seventh-rounder made a strong impression during Wednesday's practice. Although injuries limited his playing time in 2024, Spector still finished the regular season with a career-high 40 tackles (22 solo), including 1.5 sacks, and one fumble recovery across 11 games.

Bills' Baylon Spector: Limited to 11 games in 2024
Spector (calf) tallied 40 total tackles (22 solo), including 1.5 sacks, across 11 regular-season games in 2024.
Spector dealt with a calf issue for the entirety of the 2024 campaign, sustaining the injury in August and missing nine games in total including Buffalo's three playoff contests. However, the third-year linebacker was relatively productive when on the field, posting career highs in tackles, sacks and defensive snaps played (278). Spector is entering the final season of his rookie deal in 2025 and will likely remain one of the Bills' top reserve linebackers, with starters Terrel Bernard and Matt Milano still under contract next season.

Bills' Baylon Spector: Won't play in AFC Championship Game
Spector (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's AFC Championship Game against the Chiefs.
Spector was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday and was a full participant in all three practices this week. However, the 2022 seventh-round pick has not progressed enough in his recovery from a calf injury to play in Sunday's playoff bout. Joe Andreessen will continue to see extra time at linebacker alongside Terrel Bernard and Matt Milano while Spector remains on IR.

Bills' Baylon Spector: Questionable, remains on IR
Spector (calf) practiced in full Friday and is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's road AFC Championship Game against the Chiefs, though he officially remains on IR.
Spector will need to be activated to the 53-man roster by Saturday's deadline in order to be eligible to play Sunday. If cleared to play, he figures to contribute in a rotational role among Buffalo's linebacker corps in his first game back in action.

Bills' Baylon Spector: Practice window opens
The Bills designated Spector (calf) to return from injured reserve Wednesday, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.
Spector suffered a calf injury during the Bills' Week 16 win over the Patriots, which was severe enough for him to be placed on injured reserve. He's placement on IR resulted in him missing the last two games of the regular season and the first two games of the playoffs. Spector can participate in practice Thursday and Friday, though he would have to be activated from IR in order to play in Sunday's AFC Championship Game against the Chiefs.

Bills' Baylon Spector: Placd on IR due to calf injury
The Bills placed Spector (calf) on injured reserve Tuesday.
Spector suffered a calf injury in the third quarter of this past Sunday's 24-21 win over the Patriots, and the issue is severe enough for him to warrant a stint on injured reserve. He'll be required to miss at least the next four games, which means he will not be available for the Bills' final two contests of the 2024 regular season. However, Spector could return for the postseason if Buffalo makes a deep playoff run. Spector will finish the 2024 regular season with 40 tackles (22 solo), including 1.5 sacks, and one fumble recovery across 11 games.

Bills' Baylon Spector: Unlikely to return against Patriots
Spector (calf) is doubtful to return to Sunday's game against New England, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.
Spector injured his calf in the third quarter of Sunday's game. With his day likely done, Dorian Williams will see more snaps at linebacker alongside Terrel Bernard and Joe Andreessen for the rest of Sunday's game.

Bills' Baylon Spector: Set to play Sunday
Spector (calf) is active for Sunday's game against the Lions.
Spector was activated off IR on Saturday after missing the last four games with a calf injury. The third-year pro out of Clemson has already achieved career highs across the board this season with 34 tackles and his first career sack. Spector will return to a backup role at off-ball linebacker Sunday.

Bills' Baylon Spector: Activated off IR
The Bills activated Spector (calf) from injured reserve Saturday, and he remains questionable to suit up for Sunday's Week 15 game against Detroit.
Spector hasn't played since Week 9, when he played 20 special-teams snaps against Miami. He subsequently landed on IR but had his practice window opened Wednesday and has a chance to return to the field Sunday. If he does play, Spector could log time primarily on special teams.

Bills' Baylon Spector: Practice window opens
Bills head coach Sean McDermott said Wednesday that Spector (calf) is being designated for return from IR, Maddy Glab of the team's official site reports.
Spector has missed a requisite four games while on IR, and his 21-day practice window now kicks off. The second-year pro can be added to the 53-man roster at any point within his practice window, making him a candidate to return as early as Sunday on the road against Detroit.

Bills' Baylon Spector: Lands on injured reserve
Buffalo placed Spector (calf) on injured reserve Saturday, Chris Jenkins of the team's official site reports.
Spector landed on the injury report Friday and logged a limited practice that day due to a calf injury. It appears that the issue is somewhat serious given that the linebacker has been placed on IR one day later. Spector's role has fluctuated this season -- for example, he logged every one of the the Bills' defensive snaps in Week 8 versus Seattle due to Terrel Bernard being sidelined but played exclusively on special teams one week later against Miami upon Bernard's return.

Bills' Baylon Spector: Dealing with calf issue
Spector (calf) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Colts.
Spector popped up on the Bills' injury report Friday as a limited participant due to a calf issue, and it now appears his status for Sunday's contest is in question. If the third-year pro cannot play through the pain in Week 10, expect Joe Andreessen to see increased work.

Bills' Baylon Spector: Paces Bills linebackers in snaps
Spector recorded five tackles (three solo) during Sunday's 31-10 win at Seattle.
With Terrel Bernard (ankle) out and Dorian Williams presumably playing through a knee issue, Spector functioned as Buffalo's top linebacker in Week 8. Whether he gets a similar snap share in Week 9 versus the Dolphins will depend largely on whether Bernard is able to return to action.
