Malcolm Jenkins announces NFL retirement after 13 seasons

Former Eagles safety and captain Malcolm Jenkins announced his NFL retirement on Wednesday morning via Instagram after 13 years in the league.

The veteran was instrumental for the Eagles defense, moving around the field and playing multiple positions all while collaborating with Jim Schwartz on the sideline. He was every bit a leader on the field as off of it, and was always willing to help his teammates.

During his time with the Eagles, Jenkins amassed 515 total tackles with 32 for loss, 58 defended passes, 12 forced fumbles and 6 fumble recoveries, 11 interceptions, 4 returned for TDs, and 5.
