Will Wolford, the Pittsburgh Steelers offensive tackle who played much of last season with a torn chest muscle, is retiring after 13 years in the NFL.

Wolford does not plan to send official notice to the NFL so the Steelers can list him as one of five players the team must make available to the Cleveland Browns in next month's expansion draft. The list is due at the league office Tuesday.

Expected to join Wolford on the list are tight end Mitch Lyons, safety Bo Orlando, wide receivers Jahine Arnold or Henry Bailey and one other player.

Wolford joined the Steelers as a free agent in 1996. He previously played with Buffalo and Indianapolis.
