Two-time Pro Bowl defensive end Justin Tuck announced his retirement from the NFL on Monday.
Tuck, 32, played 11 NFL seasons – nine with the New York Giants and two with the Oakland Raiders. He won two Super Bowl rings with New York.
Tuck made the announcement in a Facebook post.
“After months of praying and careful consideration, I have decided to retire from the game of football,” Tuck wrote. “I’ve had 11 great years and honestly I leave with very few regrets.”
Tuck played just five games for the Raiders in 2015 due to a torn pectoral muscle.
He had 66.5 career sacks and had 10 or more in a season on four occasions. Tuck added 5.5 postseason sacks.
