Retired former All-Pro offensive lineman Andrew Whitworth is out to set the record straight regarding comments he made in response to garnering potential interest from the Cowboys in light of Tyron Smith’s knee injury.
Whitworth, 40, has worked with Amazon’s NFL coverage team throughout the preseason since announcing his retirement in March after 16 NFL seasons. During Thursday night’s 49ers–Texans broadcast, the veteran offensive lineman added some fodder to the rumor mill after quickly answering a question asking whether his phone has been ringing about a comeback.
Whitworth also shared his thoughts regarding the injured Smith during his reply; the former All-Pro tackle sustained a torn hamstring during Wednesday’s practice and is expected to miss several months following surgery.
