He's 29 and he's
1. lacerated his liver
2. torn his labrum
3. nerve damage in his leg
4. God knows how many sprains, bruises, cuts and fill in the blank.
He's not a coward. He just can't get healed. He needs to let his body heal and hopefully not need a joint replacement before he is 45.

He lacerated his spleen, not his liver, and that has long since healed
Same with the torn labrum, its healed and has not since been mentioned as a problem in a year
He has an ankle calf muscle or tendon injury, not nerve damage. There is no indication he can't recover from this injury, he just has no desire to try to do so.
Its not that he CANT get healed, he is no longer interested in trying to get healed to keep playing
So be it, but call that what it is, quitting.
The is not so injured he can no longer play or that his life is in danger in any way, no indication of any permanent long term damage. He just is done trying to work through injuries.
He can make that choose, but it doesn't change what this is, which is quitting
