Bills designate Baylon Spector to return from injured reserve
Buffalo Bills linebacker Baylon Spector has been designated to return from the team’s injured reserve list.
Spector had sustained a hamstring injury in the Bills’ preseason finale.
At the end of the summer, Spector was placed on Buffalo’s injured reserve list alongside fifth-round rookie receiver Justin Shorter (hamstring).
Prior to that, pass rusher Von Miller had already been on the Bills’ PUP list. All three players fell under the same umbrella at the start of the 2023 season with their respective designations, having to miss the first four games of the season.
Spector was eligible to return when Miller did in Week 5 against the Jaguars, but remained on IR. With linebacker Matt Milano (knee) being added to the injured reserve list this week, Spector essentially now inches closer to returning.
Spector is not on Buffalo’s 53-man roster. His new designation only opens a 21-day window which allows him to practice with the team.
If the Bills do not, the Bills must return Miller to injury designation and he’s required to stay there for the remainder of the 2023 season.
Bills Wire will provide updates when further information is made available.
