Long announced Monday on his personal Twitter account that he will retire from professional football.

ANALYSIS
Long, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2008 NFL Draft, earned trips to the Pro Bowl in his first four seasons with the Dolphins before injuries derailed his career. The 31-year-old, who hadn't appeared in more than 10 games in a season since 2013, decided it was best to step away from the game while he was in the midst of rehabbing an Achilles injury he suffered on Nov. 13. Long appeared in 77 career NFL games with the Dolphins, Rams and Vikings.

Long is recovering from a torn ACL/MCL but should be ready to participate in training camp and start Week 1.

Long will anchor the Dolphins offensive line at left tackle.

Long is one of the best in the game and will once again start at left tackle for Miami.

Long is the leader in what might be the best offensive line in the NFL.

Will be the starting left tackle for the Dolphins.

Although capable of starting on either side, the first pick of the 2008 draft is expected to start at left tackle. Obviously, he'll have no direct fantasy value, but he'll provide an immediate boost to the quarterback's ability to stay upright (the inability to do so being the undoing of both Daunte Culpepper and Trent Green) and open holes for the Ronnie Brown-Ricky Williams platoon.
