Former Chiefs offensive tackle Mitchell Schwartz announced he is retiring from the NFL on Thursday. Schwartz hasn’t played since the 2020 season with the Chiefs where he injured his back during a practice and eventually missed the first game of his career. He would eventually recover, but he was never the same.
“I’m officially retiring from the NFL,” Schwartz said in the announcement. “It’s been almost two years since I injured my back. I had surgery last February and have been doing rehab ever since. I’m currently feeling as good as I have since then, but it’s clear my body won’t ever be the same.
