Michael Hoecht Achilles Injury
Buffalo Bills defensive end Michael Hoecht suffered a season-ending Achilles tendon rupture during Sunday’s game, just his second back from suspension. He’s expected to undergo surgery with a projected 9–12 month recovery timeline, putting him on track to return by Week 1 of the 2026 season if rehab goes smoothly. It’s a tough blow for Buffalo’s defense, but there’s optimism Hoecht can make a full comeback next year.
