Bears guard Kyle Long is “stepping away” from football.
The three-time Pro Bowl player, who presumably played his last snap with the team in London before being put on injured reserve, posted a series of Tweets on Sunday night that said farewell to the city.
“Some Chicagoans are probably happy to hear I’m finally stepping away and getting my body right,” Long said. “Some Chicagoans may be sad to hear this. Either way [you] feel about it, I want [you] to know how lucky I am to have spent time in your city. I became a man while playing in Chicago.
