Bills OL Tommy Doyle Medically Retires at 26

Buffalo Bills offensive lineman Tommy Doyle, aged 26, has announced his medical retirement from the NFL due to significant injuries, including a severe leg injury with permanent nerve damage. Doyle, a fifth-round draft pick in 2021, played only 12 games across his short career, notably catching a touchdown pass in the 2022 AFC Wild Card round against the New England Patriots. His career was marred by injuries, including a torn ACL in 2022 and another severe leg injury in 2023, which have necessitated his retirement. Despite efforts to recover, Doyle stated that he is unable to play football at a high level and has decided to move on to the next chapter of his life. He expressed gratitude to his teammates, coaches, and the Buffalo community for their support during his career. Doyle shared these sentiments with fans through an Instagram post, emphasizing this transition as a new beginning rather than a goodbye.
