Minnesota Vikings coach Leslie Frazier said left guard Steve Hutchinson could be considering retirement.
Hutchinson suffered a concussion to end his season, and Frazier that could be a factor in the 34-year-old's decision to contue playing.
"That’s something that I’m sure he and his family will discuss, what his future is and how much longer he wants to play pro football," Frazier said.
Hutchinson has been selected to seven Pro Bowls and has been an iron man for much of his career, starting every game in nine of 11 seasons.
