"I wish I was heading into battle with my brothers as training camp starts up this week but I also believe that everything happens for a reason. Although playing the game is no longer in the cards for me I'm grateful for the 10 year career that I was blessed to experience," he wrote.
Fells had a staph infection in his ankle last season that was discovered to be MRSA, which is dangerous because it's resistant to antibiotics.
