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.

Although Spector was activated from injured reserve Oct. 14, he will now have missed two consecutive games since then. His next chance for his season debut will come in Week 9 versus the Bengals. The second-year pro was primarily a special teams contributor and depth linebacker last year in his rookie season.
