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.

Former Bills WR ‘Betrays’ His Old Team, Claims Josh Allen Runs the Locker Room and Forced Diggs Out — Then Allen Fires Back After Patriots Loss
Buffalo, NY – October 6, 2025 The Buffalo Bills’ 23–20 loss to the New England Patriots on Sunday night didn’t just sting on the scoreboard — it reopened old wounds off the field, as former Bills wide receiver Terrell Owens took to social media to gloat and ignite controversy surrounding Josh Allen and Stefon Diggs. Owens, who played for the Bills in 2009, mocked the team’s collapse and claimed their internal chemistry issues are nothing new. “I’ve seen this movie before,” he wrote on X. “The ‘star receiver’ takes the blame, the QB walks free, and the locker room turns toxic. Allen runs that place — Diggs was just the latest casualty.” The post went viral within hours of the Patriots’ upset win, as fans accused Owens of “kicking Buffalo while it’s down.” His remarks echoed long-standing criticism from his own turbulent time with the Bills — when he clashed with quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick and demanded a trade before being released after one season. Owens’ jab struck a nerve because it aligned with recent headlines linking Diggs’ 2025 exit to tension with Allen. The wideout, now thriving in New England, caught 10 passes for 146 yards and a touchdown in the victory — a performance Owens gleefully praised as “karma.” Bills fans flooded social media with outrage. One post with over 40,000 likes read: “TO was all hype, no heart. Now he’s celebrating our loss like he ever mattered here. Pathetic.” Others, however, agreed that the Bills’ locker room chemistry has looked strained since Diggs’ departure. Josh Allen, visibly frustrated after the defeat, fired back when asked about Owens’ comments during the postgame press conference. "You can eat wrong, you can drink wrong — but don’t ever talk wrong," Allen said. "If you can’t help us get better or lift this team when times get tough, then don’t divide us. The Buffalo Bills aren’t just a team — we’re a family. Players come and go, but our values stay the same. Every decision made here is about football, not ego." Teammates quickly rallied around their quarterback. Linebacker Matt Milano reposted Allen’s quote with the caption: “QB1 — built different.” While the Bills fell to 3–2 after the loss, this latest drama has once again fueled debate about Buffalo’s leadership culture — and reignited memories of Owens’ own divisive legacy. In the end, the former star may have enjoyed his moment of schadenfreude, but Allen’s response proved one thing: the locker room still belongs to the Bills — not to their ghosts.
