LOS ANGELES -- The Chargers released center Corey Linsley, the team announced Wednesday. Linsley, who missed the final 14 games of the 2024 season with a non-emergent heart issue, is retiring from the NFL.
"While he has taken his last snap in the NFL, Corey's story is far from being written." team president John Spanos said in a statement. "We cannot wait to see what the next chapter has in store for the Linsleys, and we wish Corey, Anna, Seamus, Killian, Quinn and Ruth all the best moving forward."
In January, Linsley told reporters there was a 99% chance he would retire after doctors advised him that playing football puts him at a higher risk of severe injury moving forward.
