<!-- end mod-article-title --> <!-- begin story body --> Washington Redskins left tackle Chris Samuels is denying the report he will retire.

"I will continue to seek medical advice," he said in a statement. "I hope to see where I am physically over the next couple months. At this time, I have not made a decision, but I love playing for the Redskins and hope to be back."

League sources told The Washington Post that the six-time Pro Bowler shared his decision with some members of the team after consulting a specialist in California.

Samuels suffers from stenosis, a narrowing of the spine that caused him to wear a neck brace for extra protection when he played, and was already dealing with significant knee pain all season, according to the paper.

He should retire. It's just not worth it.

For real. His body is going to be ****ed even more if he doesnt stop. I cant wait to see all the problems Brett Favre is going to have

Probably none. Will be one of those ****ers who some how escapes. Like a 90 year old man who has smoked unfiltered cigs since age 12, but dies from choking on an apple.
