The 2022 NFL season is over for Buffalo Bills offensive lineman Tommy Doyle.
Buffalo head coach Sean McDermott announced that Doyle had a season-ending knee injury he sustained against the Miami Dolphins in Week 3.
McDermott said via video conference that Doyle tore his ACL, however, the team has yet to officially place Doyle on the injured reserve list which would end his year. That will likely come in due time.
Doyle had been dealing with injury early in 2022 already. He missed the first two weeks of the season due to a foot issue.
Playing in a reserve role, Doyle was replacing Ryan Bates in the lineup against Miami when he went down.
Doyle ended up playing in 37 total snaps on offense during the contest. Late last season, Doyle started to see some time with the starting offense as an extra blocker on certain packages, but injury has prevented him from taking another step forward in his development in 2022.
Without Doyle, the Bills will likely have to look at adding more depth pieces to their offensive line. Currently on the practice squad Buffalo has three offensive linemen: Rookie Alec Anderson, Ryan Van Demark and Greg Mancz.
Mancz was elevated from the Bills’ practice squad prior to Sunday’s game against the Dolphins.
