49ers’ Reid says he’s considered leaving NFL because of concussions
By Eric Branch Published 2:54 pm, Tuesday, June 9, 2015


Niners safety Eric Reid is readying to play another season, but he acknowledged today he’s given some thought to leaving the NFL because of the three concussions he’s sustained in his first two seasons.

“Everybody evaluates their own situation as far as playing this game,” Reid said to The Chronicle. “I’ve evaluated mine and I’ve decided I still want to play.”
Reid, 23, a 2013 first-round pick, said he might seek out more medical advice, but he intends to play in 2015. He has been a full participant in the team’s offseason program.

“There is a doctor that I’m looking further into and I may end up going to see,” Reid said. “Like I said, right now I’ve evaluated my situation and I feel comfortable playing.”

In March, 49ers inside linebacker Chris Borland, 24, retired after his rookie season because of brain-trauma concerns. Borland said he had two diagnosed concussions, the last as a sophomore in high school. On Friday, 49ers right tackle Anthony Davis left the NFL after his first concussion last year sidelined him for four games and initially left in a “white fog.” Davis said he is leaving the league for at least a season to give his “brain and body a chance to heal.”

Reid, who has said he didn’t sustain a concussion before he entered the NFL, sent a text message to Borland shortly after he announced his retirement.
“I didn’t want to be another person tugging at him,” Reid said. “But I respect Chris’ decision. And I respect Anthony’s.”
Reid had two concussions in the first nine games of his rookie season, but didn’t miss a game. He sustained his third concussion last year in the first quarter of a loss to the Chargers on Dec. 20. He said he was medically cleared to play in the regular-season finale against Arizona, but sat out because the 49ers were eliminated from the postseason.

“I just decided it wasn’t worth possibly getting another concussion for a game that wouldn’t advance us,” Reid said. “So I decided to sit that one out.”
Reid has started 31 of 32 games in a career that’s included 118 tackles and seven interceptions. Reid, who played in the Pro Bowl as an alternate as a rookie, was asked today if he would retire if he sustained a fourth concussion.

“I’m not putting a number to it,” he said. “I will continue to evaluate my own situation. If I have another concussion and I don’t feel like I can play any more, then I won’t. If I (have another concussion), and if I feel that I still can play, then I will. It’s just a case-by-case basis.

“I know it’s a huge deal right now in the NFL and everything is being put under a microscope, but that’s how every injury is. It could be a dislocated shoulder. You evaluate your situation and see if you’re healthy enough to still play.”

The 49ers used their second-round pick in this year’s draft on Samford safety Jaquaski Tartt, a selection that came as a surprise given their depth at the position. In addition to Reid, the 49ers have safety Antoine Bethea, a three-time Pro Bowler, and cornerback/safety Jimmie Ward, their first-round pick in 2014 who re-fractured a foot in November that he first injured in college.

In May, general manager Trent Baalke said health issues surrounding Reid and Ward didn’t inspire the selection of Tartt.
“I wouldn’t say that that played a role in it,” Baalke said. “Obviously, we’re confident in both of those guys being able to stay healthy and play football for us and very high on their ability. This pick had nothing to do with those players … It just had everything to do with the quality of player that we thought we were getting at that pick. And, it’s never a bad thing to get good at a position, or get better at a position you feel you’re good at.”

Reid, who has earned more than $3.4 million in his first two seasons, graduated sixth in his 366-student high school class with a 4.6 GPA and left LSU after his junior season about two semesters shy of earning a degree in business administration.
He is also married with a 5-year-old daughter, but said he hasn’t been pressured by his family to retire.
“No -- not all,” he said. “They’re concerned for my safety, obviously, but nobody is pressuring me into playing or not playing.”
In November 2013, shortly after Reid sustained his second concussion, his father, Eric Reid Sr., acknowledged his son had a large group of family and friends praying for his safety.

"When he chose this profession, we understood what that meant," Reid Sr. told The Chronicle. "And we understood that injuries happen. We always pray that he doesn't have any lasting injuries. Obviously, we'd rather he doesn't have any injuries at all. Unfortunately, this comes with the territory."

There shouldn't be a single 49er fan surprised when Eric Reid retires. Not on this forum at least.

Its not a question of if but when. Ward and Tartt are our future safety duo. However, I feel like Reid should strongly consider the transition to CB. I think it would be a great decision to prolong his career. He has the tools to be a great CB.

I'm calling it now, he retires sometime this season.

There is no way he does NOT get a concussion this year the way he be tackling.
 
Between Torrey Smith, Jerome Simpson, and DeAndrew White, the influx of speedy receivers stretching the field at OTA/Mini camp is a welcomed change.

Reid at corner would be quite interesting, especially since we are a bit shorthanded at that spot. Can his speed match?
 
Absolutely! You dont need blazing speed to be a serviceable CB. He possesses the intelligence required to make the transition, and his body is the prototype for the modern NFL big-body CB.
