ESPN’s Adam Schefter is reporting that Texans tight end C.J. Fiedorowicz may be forced to retire at the age of 26 because of his numerous concussions.
After at least four concussions the past two seasons, Texans’ TE C.J. Fiedorowicz might be done playing in NFL at the age of 26, per sources.https://t.co/nURv0Gslio

Fiedorowicz has suffered four concussions over the last two years, and three just in 2017 alone. The Texans also apparently saw this pattern as a possibility before the season started when they built a “concussion clause” into his contract, Schefter says:
“There was concern that Fiedorowicz could be forced into an early retirement even before he left last Sunday's loss to the Tennessee Titans with a concussion.
