Duvernay-Tardif announced Wednesday that he's pausing his NFL career to begin a residency program at a Montreal-area hospital, the Associated Press reports.
Duvernay-Tardif became a free agent in March after starting seven games for the Jets last season, and he's now opted to continue his career in medicine. The 31-year-old stressed that he's not retiring from football but is simply stepping away for now, and he could still end up seeing the field in 2022.
