Stephen Tulloch won't be remembered as a Philadelphia Eagle, but he did spend his final season with the Birds. 

The 32-year-old linebacker is retiring from the NFL after 11 seasons. He'll hold a press conference in Detroit on Thursday. 

Tulloch joined the Eagles just before the 2016 season and was the Eagles' backup middle linebacker (behind a healthy Jordan Hicks) for the entire year. Despite being active all year, he played just seven percent of the Eagles' snaps because of the health in front of him. He started the season finale because of an injury to Mychal Kendricks. 

An ACL injury to rookie seventh-round pick Joe Walker during the preseason forced the Eagles to go out and sign Tulloch to a one-year deal. The linebacker had extensive experience under Eagles defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz from their time together in Tennessee and Detroit. That familiarity made Tulloch's late arrival less of a worry. 

Tulloch was the Titans' fourth-round pick in 2006 and played his first five seasons in Tennessee. From there, he went to Detroit and played his next five seasons with the Lions. From 2010-2013, he didn't miss a game. 

He had been an unrestricted free agent since March 9, after his one-year deal with the Eagles ran out.
