Jaguars DL Rodney Gunter announced his retirement.
Gunter was forced to retire due to a heart condition. The condition would have put his life at risk if he chose to keep playing. He signed a three-year deal with the Jaguars this offseason. Gunter posted 7.5 sacks in 29 games during his career.
Jaguars signed DT Rodney Gunter, formerly of the Cardinals, to a three-year contract.
Gunter ended last season on injured reserve with a toe problem after starting the first 13 games. Gunter has 7.5 sacks across 29 games (23 starts) over the last two years. He should slide in to help replace Calais Campbell, who was traded to the Ravens last weekend.
Gunter (toe) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday.
It was originally believed that Gunter had an ankle injury, but further reports have revealed it's a toe issue that will end the 27-year-old's season early, forcing him to miss the first games of his career. Gunter finished the year with 31 tackles (20 solo) and three sacks, and he'll be an unrestricted free agent in March.
Gunter was forced out of Sunday's game against the Steelers with an ankle injury, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Gunter managed to record his third sack of the season before exiting the contest. If his injury is serious and he's forced to miss Week 15's game against the Browns, Gunter's streak of consecutive active games will end at 77 games.
