Indianapolis Colts outside linebacker Robert Mathis has announced his retirement, as this Sunday’s game against the Jacksonville Jaguars will be his last career game–career game no. 192:
“I think we all know the reason we’re here, and I’m letting everybody know that this will be #98’s last game Sunday,” said Mathis on Friday. “Cap on a blessed career.”
The 35 year old veteran pass rusher also posted a video on his Instagram account announcing his soon-to-be retirement:
While there was already speculation of a potential Mathis’ farewell entering Sunday’s contest, it appears as though this confirms what many thought would happen with the 14-year veteran playing in both his last game in a Colts uniform and all together in the NFL.
