Third Quarter Injury
In a disappointing turn of events, Buffalo Bills offensive tackle Tommy Doyle was forced to leave the field during the third quarter of Saturday’s game. The team wasted no time in ruling him out for the remainder of the game due to a left knee injury.
A Setback in Recovery
Doyle, who had been diligently working his way back from a right ACL injury sustained last year, had an air cast placed on his leg before being carted off the field. This unfortunate incident comes as a setback in his recovery process.
Teammates Show Support
As Doyle was being transported to the training room, his teammates Mitch Morse and Spencer Brown ran up the tunnel, showing their support and concern for their injured comrade.
A Previous Injury
Last week, Doyle suffered a knee injury during the preseason opener, but it was determined to be a contusion, allowing him to return to practice this week. However, this latest injury has raised concerns about his long-term durability.
Past Performance
During the previous season, Doyle was limited to just one game before his knee injury. He made his mark as a rookie, playing in 11 games and showcasing his potential.
Depth Concerns
This injury further depletes the Bills’ depth at the offensive tackle position. Earlier this week, Brandon Shell announced his retirement, leaving Ryan Van Demark and David Quessenberry as the primary backups. The team will need to explore potential options to address this issue.
Jason Peters’ Future
Meanwhile, former Bills offensive tackle Jason Peters remains a free agent. Peters recently expressed his desire to continue playing in 2023, which could potentially make him an intriguing option for the team.
