Cardinals placed rookie WR Ryan Swope on reserve/retired list due to concussions. Looks like his NFL career is over.

Ryan Swope Put On Reserve-Retired List

“As a result of a concussion I suffered during OTAs, I was advised by doctors that there were serious risks in returning to play football at this point. It has been a lifelong dream to play in the NFL but my long-term health interests outweigh my current goals for football. Because of that, I am electing to retire from the game for now and and then reassess my future after this season. In the meantime, I plan to return to Texas A&M to pursue my degree.

"I want to thank the Arizona Cardinals organization for the opportunity and their support. I wish the team much success this season"

Well, it was worth a shot for 'em. A 6th round pick down the drain.

That's too bad. I liked Swope & was rooting for him to have moderate individual success while his team was in the toilet.

God, another concussion during OTA? It's like he gets them from breathing. He had some talent and heart. Somewhat sad to see him go as a player, but that's why he fell in the draft.
