Former Indianapolis Colts and Chicago Bears linebacker Jerrell Freeman announced his retirement Wednesday after six years in the NFL.
"My health and family are my top priorities," he wrote. "I wanted to thank all the coaches and teammates I have played with over the years; you have impacted my life more than you'll ever know!"

This comes after the Bears cut him this offseason. Freeman played just one game during the 2017 campaign because of a torn pectoral muscle and was also suspended for 10 contests for violating the league's performance-enhancing drugs policy.
