Eric Weddle is one tough mofo.

Eric Weddle returned after two seasons in retirement to chase a Super Bowl ring. With the Los Angeles Rams defeating the Cincinnati Bengals, 23-20, at SoFi Stadium, Weddle heads back to retirement a champion.

“Yes, I’m re-retiring,” said Weddle of a decision which was expected. “I’ll go back to my daily life. Pretty banged up right now, but hey, it’s well worth it. Well worth the moment.”

Weddle added that he suffered a torn pectoral that would require surgery. But that pain was worth it.

“I have a lot of time to recover. World champs, man,” he said.

A picture of his injury surfaced, and it looks pretty painful.

Weddle was credited with playing all 61 snaps, per Next Gen Stats, despite being banged up. He finished the win with five tackles.

What a warrior, and now a forever legend!
