Buffalo Bills Reunited With Two Familiar Faces To Strengthen Defense Ahead Of Falcons Game

Buffalo, NY – October 8, 2025

The Buffalo Bills have officially reunited with two familiar names, signing linebacker Baylon Spector and cornerback Jalen Kimber to their practice squad as injuries continue to thin out their defensive depth chart.

Spector, a former seventh-round pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, returns to Buffalo after being released in training camp. Over three seasons with the team, he recorded 34 total tackles in 13 games , showing flashes of potential before being derailed by injuries. His return helps stabilize the linebacker group after Jimmy Ciarlo was promoted to the active roster ahead of last week’s game against the Patriots.

 

At cornerback, the Bills brought back Jalen Kimber, who previously spent time on the team’s practice squad earlier this season. Kimber, 6’0” and 190 pounds, joined the Tennessee Titans as an undrafted rookie out of Georgia and Penn State, but was released in late August. He briefly signed with Buffalo in September before being waived to make room for safety Otis Reese IV, who has now been released.

The timing of these moves reflects the Bills’ growing list of defensive injuries. Linebackers Matt Milano (pectoral) and Dorian Williams (knee)

 

have both missed time, while rookie cornerbacks Dorian Strong (neck) and Maxwell Hairston (knee) remain on Injured Reserve with no immediate return expected.

If Williams is unable to play this week, Spector could be elevated to the active roster and dress on game day, while Kimber provides valuable depth behind veterans Dane Jackson and Kaiir Elam.

With the Bills preparing to face the Atlanta Falcons on Monday night (7:15 p.m. ET), these roster additions provide much-needed reinforcements for a defense that has been battling attrition since Week 1.

Buffalo fans will hope these familiar faces can help steady the defense as the team pushes to stay competitive in the AFC race.

Ravens Fan-Favourite CB Faces Family Tragedy After Week 5 Game as Military-Trained Skydiving Instructor Dies in Nashville
Baltimore, MD – October 8, 2025Baltimore Ravens second-year cornerback Nate Wiggins is mourning a profound personal loss following the team’s Week 5 matchup, as his cousin, Justin “Spidey” Fuller — a respected military-trained skydiving instructor — died in a tragic tandem jump accident outside Nashville. Fuller, 35, was fatally injured after becoming separated from his harness mid-air during a jump organized by Go Skydive Nashville. His student survived after landing in a tree with the parachute deployed and was later rescued by firefighters. Police confirmed Fuller’s body was recovered in a wooded area off Ashland City Highway. The Nashville Fire Department called it “one of the most complex high-angle rescues in recent years,” commending personnel for their efforts. Known by the nickname “Spidey,” Fuller died after a tandem skydive went wrong on October 4, 2025, near Nashville, Tennessee. (Facebook/Justin Fuller Spidey) Beloved in the skydiving community, Spidey had completed more than 5,000 jumps and helped train U.S. service members in advanced aerial maneuvers. Friends described him as “fearless, focused and devoted to lifting others higher — in life and in the air.” Wiggins — whose mother is the younger sister of Fuller’s mother, grew up admiring his cousin’s discipline and sense of purpose. Family members say that influence helped shape his mental toughness and leadership on the field. A relative told local media, “Justin taught Nate that strength isn’t about being unbreakable — it’s about standing firm when life hits hardest. That’s exactly how Nate lives and plays today.” Wiggins, a former first-round pick from Clemson, has steadily earned the Ravens’ trust as a rotational cornerback in nickel/dime packages, praised for his speed, press technique, and ability to carry deep routes. Coaches describe him as “wise beyond his years,” calm under pressure, and disciplined at the catch point. Through the first five games of 2025, he has 12 solo tackles, 4 passes defensed, and 1 interception, reinforcing his value on the perimeter.  The Ravens organization has provided time and private support for Wiggins and his family, ensuring he can grieve without team-related obligations. Teammates have stood beside him, honoring both his resilience and his family’s tradition of service. The FAA is investigating the incident, while tributes to “Spidey” continue to pour in on social media from military colleagues, fellow skydivers, and fans across the country.“He taught others to fly — now he flies higher than all of us,” one tribute read. Wiggins kept his public comments brief, speaking softly before being embraced by teammates:“Spidey always told me not to fear the height — only the moment you forget to look down and pull someone else up with you. This week, I’m playing for him.”
