The Titans’ long-time left tackle is calling it a career after 10 NFL seasons.

Michael Roos, a 148-game starter for Tennessee since 2005, announced his retirement Thursday on Instagram. The Titans also announced Roos had informed them of his plans to retire.

“After 10 years as a Tennessee Titan I have decided to retire from football,” Roos wrote on Instagram. “I have given this decision much consideration. I feel fortunate to have played this long coming from a TE turned DE turned OT from Eastern Washington University.”

A second-round pick in ’05, Roos started every regular season game in which he played for Tennessee. He missed the final 11 games of the ’14 campaign because of a right knee injury.

Taylor Lewan, the Titans’ No. 1 pick in ’14, is now Tennessee’s left tackle.
