Buffalo Bills offensive lineman Tommy Doyle announced his retirement from the NFL due to medical reasons.

Doyle, 26, played in 11 games during his rookie season in 2021 and one more in 2022.

He endured several injuries during his career -- notably a right ACL tear during the beginning of the 2022 season and a severe leg injury in 2023. This season, he dealt with nerve damage in his left leg.

"At this point, with the calendar and the healing process, it looks as though it's permanent," Doyle said on Friday of his nerve damage. "I'm just unable to play football at a high level, and it's time. When you know you know."

Doyle was selected by the Bills in fifth round of the 2021 NFL Draft.
