Washington Redskins left tackle Chris Samuels will retire because of a severe neck injury he suffered in Week 5.

League sources told The Washington Post that the six-time Pro Bowler shared his decision with some members of the team after consulting a specialist in California.

Samuels suffers from stenosis, a narrowing of the spine that caused him to wear a neck brace for extra protection when he played, and was already dealing with significant knee pain all season, according to the paper.
