EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) -The NFL seemingly is going to lose its oldest player to retirement.
The New York Giants announced Wednesday that 44-year-old punter Jeff Feagles is going to hold a news conference on Friday, the first day of a minicamp for rookies and free agents.
The team would not say whether Feagles was going to retire, but coach Tom Coughlin disclosed after the NFL draft Saturday that Feagles was having some physical problems and that he would be surprised if the veteran decided to return for a 23rd season.
The fact that the Giants are holding a press conference also indicates that Feagles is walking away from the game. They would not have one if he simply decided to play.
The Giants drafted East Carolina punter Matt Dodge in the seventh round on Saturday as an insurance policy.
