Green Bay Packers: Second-Year Wide Receiver Calls It Quits Following Injury Setback

A second-year wide receiver for the Green Bay Packers has decided to retire from professional football after sustaining an injury during the offseason. Thyrick Pitts Jr., who joined the Packers last December, faced a setback with the team due to the injury, leading to his retirement announcement.

Pitts, a standout player during his college years at the University of Delaware, had signed with the Packers’ practice squad after a stint with the Chicago Bears and the New England Patriots. Despite showing promise, his time with the Packers took a turn when he was placed on injured reserve in May. Following the team’s decision to waive him from IR with an injury settlement, Pitts took to Instagram to declare his retirement.

In his heartfelt post, Pitts expressed gratitude for the opportunity to play football since childhood, acknowledging the support he received throughout his career. He revealed his plans to transition into a new career path in financial management, aiming to utilize his experience and skills to assist others in managing their finances and planning for the future.
