NFL: Byron Jones Retires & States On Twitter – “DO NOT TAKE THE INJECTIONS!”

@TheByronJones Byron Jones Retires & States On Twitter – “DO NOT TAKE THE INJECTIONS!”

It’s sad….because it’s too late. HE already took the poison. So sad.

Much has changed in 8 years. Today I can’t run or jump because of my injuries sustained playing this game. DO NOT take the pills they give you. DO NOT take the injections they give you. If you absolutely must, consult an outside doctor to learn the long-term implications. https://t.co/g5TTHDQGSY

It was an honor and privilege to play in the NFL but it came at a regrettable cost I did not foresee. In my opinion, no amount of professional success or financial gain is worth avoidable chronic pain and disabilities. Godspeed to the draft class of 2023.
