Former Eagles and Seahawks FB Leonard Weaver has retired from football. Weaver is only 30, but hasn't been able to play since 2010 due to a catastrophic injury that included a torn ACL and PCL, and a left foot muscle that was "completely destroyed" with extensive nerve damage. Weaver played five seasons in the NFL, earning 2009 All-Pro honors as a fullback in Philadelphia. He finishes his career with seven touchdowns and a 4.50 yards-per-carry average.

Free agent FB Leonard Weaver (foot) concedes that a return to the NFL is "not going to happen this season." Weaver is recovered from his torn ACL and PCL, but the muscle that allows a player to flex his left foot was "completely destroyed" and the nerve damage hasn't healed sufficiently. Weaver was told by Dr. James Andrews two years ago there was a "99 percent" chance he'd never play again. He recently failed an Eagles physical because his foot "didn't work" well enough to flex. Weaver's injury is similar to the one that ended the career of Dolphins Hall of Fame center Dwight Stephenson back in 1987.

Eagles released FB Leonard Weaver. The Eagles are on the hook for $1 million of Weaver's $2.5 million salary after a career-threatening injury. Weaver shredded the knee, tearing his ACL and PCL while also suffering nerve damage. As if that wasn't bad enough, he's also undergone a tendon transfer surgery on his left foot -- believed to be the first of its kind for a football player. We don't expect to see him in a uniform in 2011, though we hope to see him back on the field at some point.
