Former Tiger Waived with Injury Designation

A former Clemson standout was waived with an injury designation this week.

The Buffalo Bills have designated linebacker Baylon Spector as waived/injured.

The move comes after a recent calf injury that sidelined Spector. He also dealt with a calf injury for a lot of last season.

 A 2022 seventh-round pick of the Bills (231st overall), Spector entered training camp in competition for a backup linebacker spot.

The 26-year-old saw limited action over his three seasons with the Bills (2022-24) while spending multiple different stints on injured reserve. In 26 career games (four starts), he tallied 52 total tackles, two tackles for loss, 1.5 sacks and one fumble recovery.

A two-year starter in college, Spector started 21 of the 53 games he played at Clemson, finishing his career with 210 tackles, nine sacks, four forced fumbles, four fumble recoveries, three pass breakups and an interception. He was the Tigers’ second-leading tackler (85) in 2021 when he was a team captain.

Spector led the team in tackles (72) and sacks (4.5) in 2020. He also had 10.5 tackles for loss that season.
