49ers WR Isaac Bruce Is “75 Percent” Sure He’s Retiring
, say goodbye to Isaac Bruce. It looks like Sunday will be the final NFL game for the St. Louis receiving icon.
Bruce, who ranks second in NFL history in reception yards (15,208) and fifth in receptions (1,024), told St. Louis reporters on a conference call Wednesday that he’s “75 percent” sure he’s retiring following Sunday’s game. Those who know Bruce, 37, say it’s closer to 100 percent than 75 percent.
Bruce has played the past two seasons for San Francisco, the Rams’ opponent Sunday. But Bruce has been replaced in the lineup (for Josh Morgan) by 49ers coach Mike Singletary since midseason. Bruce hasn’t even dressed in six of the past seven games, and originally Singletary indicated that Bruce would be inactive the rest of the season.
But Singletary apparently has had a change of heart, hinting strongly that Bruce will play Sunday during his conference call.
About 8,000 tickets remained for the game at the start of the week, so it looks like Bruce’s probable NFL finale will be blacked out on local television in the St. Louis area.
