The Buffalo Bills are optimistic about the potential return of defensive end Dawuane Smoot and linebacker Baylon Spector, both currently on Injured Reserve. After participating fully in practice, they have a 21-day window to be activated back to the roster.

Spector, who suffered a calf injury, has been a key player on special teams, while Smoot has contributed defensively since joining the team. Their return could significantly bolster the Bills' pass rush as they prepare for a crucial matchup against the Detroit Lions.
