It’s a tough blow to Hoecht and the Bills defense. Hoecht missed the first six games of the season after violating the league’s performance enhancing drugs policy, and appeared in just two games this season. In those two games, Hoecht totaled five tackles and two sacks while also forcing one fumble. He signed a three-year deal with the Bills this offseason and will hopefully have more to offer in 2026 once he returns from his injury.
