Bills Place DE Michael Hoecht On Injured Reserve

Hoecht, unfortunately, suffered a season-ending Achilles tear in Sunday’s win over the Chiefs. 

Hoecht served a six-game suspension for a PED violation to open the season. 

Hoecht, 28, originally signed on with the Rams as an undrafted free agent out of Brown in 2020.

He was among their final roster cuts and signed to their practice squad before re-signing to a futures deal in 2021. 

The Rams re-signed Hoecht as a restricted free agent last year. He joined the Bills this offseason. 

In 2025, Hoecht appeared in one game for the Bills and recorded three tackles and 1.5 sacks.
