Former Redskins safety David Bruton announced his retirement Monday after eight seasons in the NFL.

Bruton, 30, played with the Redskins last season and appeared in four games. His season was cut short after suffering a concussion in October and was put on injured reserve.

Bruton, a fourth-round pick in 2009, spent the majority of his previous seven seasons with the Denver Broncos, winning a Super Bowl in 2015. He was a standout on special teams and often appeared in the team’s dime package.

With the Redskins, Bruton competed for a starting safety spot and won the job in training camp.
