Baylon Spector: Everything you need to know

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 is now 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.

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.

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.
