ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that Zach Thomas will retire from football.
Thomas signed a one-year contract in April to help new coordinator Clancy Pendergast install a 3-4 defense in Kansas City. But the 36-year-old inside linebacker couldn't shake an undisclosed injury in camp. A seven-time Pro Bowler and five-time All Pro, Thomas has a shot to get in the Hall of Fame eventually, although he probably won't be on the first or second ballot. He'll surely retire as a Dolphin, for whom Thomas played 12 of his 14 seasons.
