Anthony Davis Retires: Latest Comments and Reaction

Just two months after officially returning to the San Francisco 49ers, offensive lineman Anthony Davis is retiring again.

The 49ers announced Monday that Davis informed them of his plans to retire.

Davis retired in June 2015 as part of the San Francisco exodus in which Patrick Willis, Chris Borland and Justin Smith also hung up their cleats.

In his official statement at the time (via ESPN's Adam Schefter), Davis said he just needed "a year or so away from the NFL" to help his body heal from injuries.
