Commanders' Tre Walker: Steps away from football

Walker retired Friday morning, Ben Standig of The Athletic reports.

The news comes just one day after the Commanders announced linebacker Drew White's diagnosis of a torn ACL, leaving Washington alarmingly thin at the position. Walker, a 22-year-old rookie undrafted free agent, unexpectedly opted to retire after a productive collegiate career at Idaho. The Commanders will move forward with just seven remaining linebackers listed on the current roster.
