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 his 2024 campaign, sustaining the injury in August and missing nine of the Bills' games, including their three playoff contests. However, the third-year linebacker was relatively productive when healthy, 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.
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.
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 on the road at Kansas City. If cleared to play, he figures to contribute in a rotational role among Buffalo's linebacker corps in his first game back in action.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
