Veteran Cornerback Potentially Announces Retirement

The NFL is a tough and gruelling competition, and over the years, there have been plenty of players that have seen their careers cut short due to injury and the rest of their lives affected due to their time in the NFL, and on Saturday, one such player shockingly revealed their condition.

That would be current Miami Dolphins cornerback Byron Jones, who sent shockwaves through the NFL world during the combine back in 2015, and now he has revealed that he 'can't run or jump' due to the injuries suffered throughout his eight year career in the league.

Much has changed in 8 years. Today I can’t run or jump because of my injuries sustained playing this game. DO NOT take the pills they give you. DO NOT take the injections they give you. If you absolutely must, consult an outside doctor to learn the long-term implications. https://t.co/g5TTHDQGSY

While he hasn't officially made an announcement on his future, it's hard to see how he returns to the NFL in the next few years with this recent announcement, so watch this space, but it doesn't look good for the former first-round pick.
