Kory Lichtensteiger was a mainstay in the Redskins' starting lineup for a few years, but after back-to-back seasons marred by injury he knew the "right move" was to retire.
Kory Lichtensteiger knew the end was near for him during the 2016 season and wanted to complete his career on his own terms. So last Friday, the 31-year old announced his retirement from the NFL after eight seasons, the final seven of which came in Washington with the Redskins.
Lichtensteiger returned from a neck/shoulder injury suffered midway through the 2015 season and got back into the starting lineup just in time for the Redskins’ Wild Card Round matchup with the Green Bay Packer.
