Former San Francisco 49ers offensive lineman Anthony Davis retired for the second time in as many years on Monday, likely viewing concussions and head injuries as the primary reason.
Davis’ former teammate, veteran left tackle Joe Staley, was not surprised by Davis’ actions.
“He wanted to retire, so he retired,” Staley said of Davis when asked by the media (h/t Kevin Jones of KNBR 680).
When asked if Davis’ retirement was surprising to the locker room, Staley simply responded, “No.”
