Limited to 11 games in 2024
Spector (calf) tallied 40 total tackles (22 solo), including 1.5 sacks, across 11 regular-season games in 2024.
Analysis: Spector dealt with a calf issue for the entirety of the 2024 campaign, sustaining the injury in August and missing nine games in total including Buffalo's three playoff contests. However, the third-year linebacker was relatively productive when on the field, 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…read more

Won't play in AFC Championship Game
Spector (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's AFC Championship Game against the Chiefs.
Analysis: 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.

Questionable, 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.
Analysis: Spector will need to be activated to the 53-man roster by Saturday's deadline in order to be eligible to play Sunday. If cleared to play, he figures to contribute in a rotational role among Buffalo's linebacker corps in his first game back in action.

Practice window opens
The Bills designated Spector (calf) to return from injured reserve Wednesday, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: 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.

Placd on IR due to calf injury
The Bills placed Spector (calf) on injured reserve Tuesday.
Analysis: 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),…read more

Unlikely to return against Patriots
Spector (calf) is doubtful to return to Sunday's game against New England, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: 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.

Set to play Sunday
Spector (calf) is active for Sunday's game against the Lions.
Analysis: 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.

Activated off IR
The Bills activated Spector (calf) from injured reserve Saturday, and he remains questionable to suit up for Sunday's Week 15 game against Detroit.
Analysis: 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.

Practice window opens
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.
Analysis: 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.

Lands on injured reserve
Buffalo placed Spector (calf) on injured reserve Saturday, Chris Jenkins of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: 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 due to Terrel Bernard being sidelined but played exclusively on special teams one week later against Miami upon Bernard's return.

Dealing with calf issue
Spector (calf) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Colts.
Analysis: 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.

Paces Bills linebackers in snaps
Spector recorded five tackles (three solo) during Sunday's 31-10 win at Seattle.
Analysis: 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.

Records sack in loss
Spector recorded six total tackles (four solo), including 1.0 sacks, in the Bills' 35-10 loss to the Ravens on Sunday.
Analysis: 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.

Next man up
Spector will start at middle linebacker Monday against the Jaguars, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Spector stepped into the role during Week 2's win over the Dolphins after Terrel Bernard (pectoral) exited with an injury and piled up 10 tackles (seven solo) in the process. With Bernard still sidelined and ruled out for Week 3, Spector will once again be called upon to handle the middle linebacker spot against Jacksonville.

Racks up 10 stops
Spector recorded 10 tackles (seven solo) during Thursday's 31-10 win over the Dolphins.
Analysis: 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.

Past calf injury
Spector (calf) was left off the Bills' injury report Wednesday ahead of the team's regular-season opener Sunday against the Cardinals.
Analysis: 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.

Deemed week-to-week
Spector is considered week-to-week due to a calf injury, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.
Analysis: Spector has been out of practice since last week and didn't participate in Buffalo's second game of the exhibition slate. It sounds as though he'll miss the team's preseason finale against Carolina on Saturday as well. The injury and missed time could result in Spector being left off the Bills' 53-man roster.

Misses practice due to calf issue
Spector is dealing with a calf injury and didn't practice Thursday, Katherine Fitzgerald of The Buffalo News reports.
Analysis: Spector is expected to make the 53-man roster as a backup linebacker and special-teams asset, but he'll first need to return to health. The 2022 seventh-round draft pick recorded an assisted tackle over 23 defensive snaps in Buffalo's preseason opener versus Chicago last Saturday.

Fighting for top reserve role
Spector (back) is expected to compete with Dorian Williams for Buffalo's top backup role at linebacker, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: 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.

Won't play in divisional round
Spector (back) is out for Sunday's game versus the Chiefs, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Spector will be unable to suit up for the divisional round due to a back injury he sustained during Monday's win versus the Steelers. His being sidelined could open up the possibility that Tyler Matakevich sees a limited role on defense Sunday.

Logs another DNP
Spector (back) didn't practice Thursday.
Analysis: Spector sustained a back injury during the Bills' wild-card win over the Steelers, and he's since opened his week of practice with back-to-back DNPs. He'll likely carry an injury designation into the weekend unless he's able to practice in full Friday.

Practices in full
Spector (hamstring) was a full participant in Friday's practice.
Analysis: The 25-year-old linebacker missed Buffalo's last three games after he was activated from injured reserve in mid-October, but it now seems as if he's moved past his hamstring issue. With Terrel Bernard (concussion) listed as questionable for Monday night's contest, Spector could see an increased role on the Bills' defense in his 2023 debut.

Spector appeared in six games for the Bills in 2022, recording six total tackles and playing primarily on special teams (60 percent of special teams snaps).

Season debut on hold
Spector (hamstring) will not play in Thursday's game against the Buccaneers.
Analysis: 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.

The Bills designated Spector (hamstring) to return from injured reserve Wednesday.
Analysis: Spector has been out since suffering a hamstring injury during the preseason but is now one step closer toward making his return.

Forced out with injury Saturday
The Bills ruled out Spector (hamstring) for the remainder of Saturday's preseason game against the Bears.
Analysis: Spector appears to have suffered a hamstring injury at some point during Saturday's contest, leaving his status moving forward up in the air. The 2022 seventh-round pick recorded six tackles while appearing in six games during his rookie campaign. Spector figures to vie for a larger role following the departure of Buffalo's previous starting middle linebacker, Tremaine Edmunds, this offseason.
