Wide receiver Ryan Switzer announced his retirement Monday on social media due to a recent injury.
Switzer, 27, who last played in an NFL game with the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2019, said he plans to go into coaching.
“Although my playing days are over, I’m looking forward to using the knowledge and experience I’ve accumulated to help the next generation of players through coaching,” he posted on Twitter. “I promise to bring the same relentless mindset that enabled me to live my dream of playing NFL football to this next chapter of my life.”
