Bills offensive lineman Tommy Doyle announced Friday that he has medically retired from the NFL.

Doyle was unfortunately plagued with injuries throughout his four-year career, and his most recent left leg injury has left him with nerve damage.

“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.”

Doyle suffered the severe leg injury in 2023 during Buffalo’s second preseason game against the Steelers on August 19. The other major injury he faced was an ACL tear on his right leg during the beginning of the 2022 season (Week 3).

“I was really battling and competing and working to come back from that (ACL) injury, only to be kind of struck with an even more disastrous injury,” Doyle said. “But at the end of the day, there was a lot of negative emotions and anger…doing a lot of reflecting lately and looking back on it, I’ve learned a lot of valuable lessons from it.”
