SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) -Linebacker Jeff Ulbrich is retiring after 10 seasons with the San Francisco 49ers.
Ulbrich has been contemplating retirement since sustaining a severe concussion during an Oct. 11 game against the Atlanta Falcons. He was placed on injured reserve eight days later.
Ulbrich said Friday that the time had come to make the decision. He plans to pursue a career in coaching, perhaps even with the 49ers.
Ulbrich, 32, played in 121 games for the 49ers with 75 starts. He finished his career with 653 tackles, including a career-high 167 in 2004. He also had 5.5 sacks, five forced fumbles and two interceptions.
