Seattle Seahawks center Connor Williams has retired because of personal reasons, coach Mike Macdonald said on Friday. The Seahawks coach said Williams' departure did not have anything to do with the ACL injury he sustained last year that required surgery.

Well, we have some idea now… after Friday’s practice, head coach Mike Macdonald announced Connor Williams had decided to officially RETIRE from the NFL. According to Macdonald, Williams has his reasons and any possibility to perhaps return later does not seem likely.
