Veteran offensive lineman Jon Feliciano announced his retirement from the NFL on Thursday but kept the door ajar slightly if a team needs help late in the 2025 season.

Feliciano, 33, missed spent the 2024 season on injured reserve with the San Francisco 49ers after undergoing knee surgery and said Thursday in a social media post that he doesn't believe he can make it through a full season.

"After months of weighing my options, I realized I had to leave the game. The fire is still there, but I know I can't last a full season and can't bring myself to let people down," he wrote in a statement.
