Offensive tackle Mitchell Schwartz, a four-time All-Pro selection, announced his retirement from the NFL on Thursday after nine seasons.
Schwartz, 33, didn't play last season after he was released by the Kansas City Chiefs last March. He had surgery last February for a back injury that prematurely ended his season in 2020 and snapped a streak of 134 consecutive starts.
In his statement posted to social media on Thursday, Schwartz wrote that he has been doing rehab ever since that surgery.
"I'm currently feeling as good as I have since then, but it's clear my body won't ever be the same.
