Samuels retires

WASHINGTON Redskins tackle Chris Samuels retired on Thursday after revealing a potentially devastating spinal condition that he feared could cause paralysis with a whack to the head. The six-time Pro Bowler said he had lost the feeling in his extremities "three or four" times since entering the NFL in 2000, the final one coming in October against the Carolina Panthers. The 32-year-old Samuels said a helmet-to-helmet hit with a defensive lineman during the Panthers' 20-17 victory marked the end of the road.
