OL Mewhort retires at age 26

Indianapolis Colts offensive lineman Jack Mewhort has announced his retirement at the age of 26. Mewhort started all 45 games in which he played during his four NFL seasons, but knee injuries limited his playing time the past two seasons. “I would like to thank the Irsay family and the entire Colts organization for giving me the opportunity to live a childhood dream,” Mewhort said in a statement released by the team. “The fans and the city of Indianapolis have treated me like one of their own, and I am forever grateful. Wearing the Horseshoe was one of the biggest honors I have ever known, and I will always bleed blue. Go Colts!”

A second-round pick in the 2014 NFL draft by the Colts, Mewhort started 30 games in his first two NFL seasons. But he played just 10 games in 2016, and played just five contests last season before being placed on season-ending injury reserve because of lingering problems with his knee. Mewhort signed a one-year, $1.5 million deal with the Colts in March, and in June, he said he expected to play at a high level this year.
