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.

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.
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 with Terrel Bernard sidelined but played exclusively on special teams one week later against Miami upon Bernard's return.
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.
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.
Spector recorded a sack and six total tackles (four solo) in the Bills' 35-10 loss to the Ravens on Sunday. The middle linebacker also played on 96 percent of the defensive snaps, the third straight week in which he played on at least 80 percent of the defensive snaps in place of injured starter Terrel Bernard. Spector has 22 tackles (14 solo) this season.
