    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.
