Buffalo Bills offensive lineman Tommy Doyle has announced his retirement following a recent left leg injury has left him with nerve damage.
Doyle suffered the injury in 2023 during Buffalo's preseason game against the Steelers on Aug. 19. He also tore his ACL during the beginning of the 2022 season.
Doyle said it appears the damage is permanent and that it's time to hang up his cleats.
"At this point, with the calendar and the healing process, it looks as though it's permanent," Doyle said of the leg injury. "I'm just unable to play football at a high level, and it's time. When you know you know."
He was originally drafted by the Bills in the 5th round of the 2021 NFL Draft. He appeared in 11 games during his rookie season.
