Mercer Timmis
Free Agent
Playing days over
Timmis announced Tuesday that he has decided to retire from the CFL due to concussion-related issues, Justin Dunk of 3DownNation.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Earlier this month, Toronto placed Timmis on the six-game injured list ahead of the regular-season opener, but the club didn't disclose the nature of his injury. Dunk's report offers more clarity regarding Timmis' absence, and the 25-year-old apparently decided continuing his career wasn't worth the health risks the sport presents. The native Canadian saw most of his action on special teams during his three seasons in the CFL, logging double-digit carries in a game just once in his career.
