Samuels Will Hold Noon Press Conference on Thursday to Announce Retirement

The date is not set in stone yet but it looks like it will be official before this time next week

Unsurprising yet still...dang.

One of the greatest of all Redskins linemen.

Too bad his career got cut short, he was still in his prime. Definitely a great Redskin and I hope he doesn't have any lasting health effects.

I hate to see it but I don't blame him one bit. He's financially set and he's still a young man. There's no need to ruin your health, you can't replace that. Smart decision if you ask me.

We could REALLY use a healthy Chris Samuels

I hope he can live a healthy life in retirement.

Very sad to see this, but I'm glad he's using caution and preventing a possible serious injury with long term effects. As Goat said, may he live a healthy life in retirement.

A smart move by Samuels. One of the all-time great Redskins. Thanks for everything Chris!

So I assume this means that right now he's not feeling better mentally?

Better to not risk it. CBS 9 just said they expect the press conf to be Thursday but also said it's not exact.
