For the second time in 15 months, 49ers right tackle Anthony Davis has decided to leave the NFL and this time his retirement is presumably permanent.
The 49ers announced Davis’ retirement this afternoon.
Davis, 26, reportedly pondered retirement when he missed practice Sept. 10. He subsequently sustained a concussion in practice on Sept. 15 and hadn’t practiced since sustaining the injury.
Davis left the league in June 2015, citing a desire to let his “brain and body” heal after an injury plagued 2014 season in which he sustained the first concussion of his football career.
