Bills Release Injured Linebacker Spector Before Preseason Opener

The Buffalo Bills have made several roster adjustments ahead of their preseason opener against the New York Giants, including releasing wide receiver Kelly Akharaiyi and linebacker Baylon Spector. Spector, a seventh-round draft pick in 2022, has struggled with injuries throughout his tenure, which led to his designation as waived/injured; he may return to the team on injured reserve or re-sign later once healthy. The Bills have signed kicker Caden Davis and former Jets UDFA Jimmy Ciarlo to bolster their roster. Meanwhile, the Pittsburgh Steelers have replaced Nick Broeker, a versatile but unestablished interior offensive lineman, with veteran three-time Pro Bowler Andrus Peat to strengthen their offensive line. Peat, who has experience playing both guard and tackle, expressed enthusiasm about his opportunity with the Steelers. Both teams continue to seek depth and flexibility as they prepare for the upcoming NFL season.
