Vikings' Asher Allen retires at age 24
OAKLAND, Calif., Oct. 19 (UPI) -- Oakland Raiders quarterback Rich Gannon will not play again this season because of a neck injury.
The 38-year-old Gannon suffered a fractured vertebra in his neck on a helmet-to-helmet collision with Tampa Bay linebacker Derrick Brooks Sept. 26. Gannon has been examined by four neck and spine specialists in the past couple of weeks.
"It's the general consensus that a return to action this season is unrealistic," Gannon told the Oakland Tribune Monday. "I will not be able to come back and participate this year. I'm just not really in a position to speculate beyond the 2004 season."
Gannon has also played for Washington, Kansas City and Minnesota in his 17-year-NFL career. He has completed 2,533 of 4,206 passes for 28,743 yards with 180 touchdowns and 104 interceptions.
