It is beginning to appear less and less likely that Chris Samuels’s future will involve playing football.
Samuels: ‘My Situation Is More Than Just Playing Football’
He wrote in his blog on Monday that he was set to meet with a spine specialist Tuesday morning to discuss if he can play again this year.
There’s really not much to say. Fans are aggravated and I can’t blame them. Next up are the Eagles. I won’t be playing in this game either.
Tuesday morning I’ll be meeting with the spine specialist about whether or not I can continue this season. At this point, my situation is more than just playing football...it is about my quality of life.
Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers as well as the team.
Heavy stuff. Today, ESPN’s Adam Schefter gave more updates:
Washington OT Chris Samuels scheduled to visit neck specialist in LA this week. Visit will help determine if he can play again or retire.
Schefter later added: "Thinking is that Samuels will not play again this year and there are those that believe he will be retiring after this season."
There comes a time when every athlete must put his personal well-being ahead of any professional goals, and even the team. It seems that time has come for Samuels.
