Devin McCourty reportedly plans to play in 2022

Longtime Patriots safety Devin McCourty is planning to hold off retirement and return for his 13th NFL season in 2022, The Providence Journal’s Mark Daniels reported Friday.

McCourty, who’ll turn 35 during training camp of next season, openly discussed the uncertainty of his football future days after the Patriots’ playoff loss to the Bills.

“I’m definitely going to take my time and see what happens for the future,” McCourty said on his podcast “Double Coverage with the McCourty Twins.” “I try not to say, ‘I’ll never do this’ or ‘I’m only going to do that’ and just kind of let it play itself out and see how it goes.
