DetroitLions.com reports Detroit Lions FB Brock Olivo is retiring from the NFL. "I had a lengthy discussion with him yesterday," coach Marty Mornhinweg said. "He came to a final thought process that he didn't want to retire, but he was a little frustrated with some of the minor, nagging injuries he has been through the last three-to-four years in regards to hamstrings, a tear to the plantar fascia. He just cannot run like he used to."
