He followed that up with two more Pro Bowl selections the following years, even earning second-team All-Pro guard honors in 2014. Unfortunately, injuries plagued him towards the end of his career and caused him to miss 34 games in his final four seasons. These injuries ultimately played a part in Kyle Long\u2019s retirement decision before the 2020 season.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Special thanks to Phil Emery, Marc Trestman and the rest of that staff for bringing me in.

Support poured in quickly for the All-Pro offensive lineman. Many fans realized they\u2019ll never see #75 take the field on Sunday again.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Win or lose, Kyle always was straight forward, respectful and available. Three things that are equally as important as they are rare. No doubt he will be missed!

The team could keep him for $8.1 million, a decision that general manager Ryan Pace knew he would have to make. When speaking to the media, Pace had his own thoughts on the contract situation: \u201cWe think the world of him. It\u2019s unfortunate he\u2019s had a handful of injuries and he\u2019s tried to battle through all of them. Kyle does have an option in his contract that we\u2019ve got to look at. That\u2019ll be one of the many decisions we have to make on him. But I feel bad for all the injuries he\u2019s tried to overcome. That was a decision we made at the time, and we\u2019ll have to make another decision this offseason with his option.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After Kyle Long&#8217;s retirement decision, Pace had his decision already made for him. While it&#8217;s unfortunate to see him go, it is ultimately for the best. Not many players continue playing after injuries year after year. And after 7 hard fought seasons, Long&#8217;s career will come to an end. The Bears selected Long with the 20th pick in 2013, and he remained loyal to us ever since. For the years you spent protecting our quarterbacks, and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chicagobears.com\/video\/mic-d-up-kyle-long-17809011\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">countless times you beat up on our rivals<\/a> we&#8217;d like to give one final thanks to Kyle Long.
