  Spector (calf) reverted to Buffalo's injured-reserve list Thursday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

• Bills' Baylon Spector: Past calf injury

  Rotowire Jul 23, 2025

  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.

  Rotowire Dec 22, 2024

  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.

Spector has missed a requisite four games while on IR, and his 21-day practice window now kicks off.

• Bills' Baylon Spector: Paces Bills linebackers in snaps

  Rotowire Oct 29, 2024

  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.

• Bills' Baylon Spector: Racks up 10 stops

  Rotowire Sep 13, 2024

  Spector recorded 10 tackles (seven solo) during Thursday's 31-10 win over the Dolphins. Spector played 81 percent of Buffalo's defensive snaps Week 2 with Terrel Bernard (pectoral) exiting the game early. Bernard is reportedly a candidate to miss roughly one month due to a pec strain, and in deeper IDP formats Spector will vault onto the fantasy radar for the duration of his recovery. Spector will look to make an impact again versus Jacksonville in Week 3 on Monday Night Football.

• Bills' Baylon Spector: Past calf injury

  Rotowire Sep 4, 2024

  Spector (calf) was left off the Bills' injury report Wednesday ahead of the team's regular-season opener Sunday against the Cardinals. Spector missed a couple of weeks in August due to a calf injury, but he now appears to be past the issue. Now that Spector has returned to full health, he's expected to be one of the Bills' top rotational linebackers heading into his third year in the NFL.

• Bills' Baylon Spector: Fighting for top reserve role

  Rotowire May 8, 2024

  Spector (back) is expected to compete with Dorian Williams for Buffalo's top backup role at linebacker, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports. Spector appears to be recovered from the back injury that ended his 2023 season early, and his spot on the 53-man roster heading into training camp appears secure due to his standing as a key special-teams contributor. Because of his draft capital as a 2023 third-round pick, Williams will likely be the favorite to win the top backup role this offseason, but Spector could have a solid chance to earn more opportunities if he can impress in workouts.
