Hangs up the cleats
Coyle posted an update on his personal Twitter account Thursday, stating his back injury "will prevent me from returning to the field again."
ANALYSIS
Primarily a special teamer during his first three seasons, Coyle logged 57.4 percent of the defensive snaps in 2017 en route to a career-best 64 tackles in 16 games with the 49ers. The elevated role extended into Week 1 of last season, but he sustained a concussion and fractured vertebrae in that contest and missed the rest of the campaign. It's unclear which injury will force him to hang up the cleats, but Coyle is calling it a career.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2018
2015
2014
Coyle was leaned on heavily in 2017, making 64 tackles in 16 games. The 49ers brought Malcolm Smith on board from Oakland, however, so Coyle will likely shift to middle linebacker and take a backseat to Reuben Foster, who is facing a two-game suspension to start the season. Coyle would have to win the weakside linebacker job to maintain IDP relevancy past Week 2.
