Free agent LB Zach Orr is trying to return to the NFL after deciding to retire several months ago due to a neck condition he was born with.
Former Packers TE Jermichael Finley, whose career ended with a neck injury of his own, tells Dom Cosentino of Deadspin.com that it will be hard for Orr to secure another opportunity in the NFL.
“I think it’s going to be tough,” Finley said. “Zach is a great guy. I’ve followed him in the NFL — awesome, awesome guy. But at the end of the day, the league has their butts to cover, and teams have their butts to cover, so I think it’s going to be difficult for him to get on a team.
