Samuels' Retirement Announcement To Come Thursday

The Redskins have schedule a Thursday press conference to officially announce the retirement of longtime left tackle Chris Samuels.

The announcement has been expected for some time due to injuries suffered during the 2009 season.

Samuels consulted with many specialists, several of whom warned him about the possibility of becoming paralyzed if he attempted to prolong his career, people familiar with the situation said, but questions about his playing status lingered publicly because Samuels declined to officially announce he would not return for an 11th season with the Redskins.

Sameuls, 32, was the third overall pick by the Redskins in 2000.
