Could also just be one of those things where he has an underlying health condition that while he's healthy now, it gives a much increased chance for something bad to happen in the future if he continues the strain of being a professional athlete/doesn't drop back down to a more normal weight. 

There's plenty of guys who discover previously unknown heart conditions, for instance.

Or he could have simply just lost a step/strength from the injury. We're so used to guys coming back from injuries that we forget sometimes guys don't come back the same. Heck, Jordan Shipley retired early because he said his knee never came back fully from his surgery. Geno Atkins seems like he has probably retired due to his shoulder.
