tough blow for the kid and the team
What a shame. Tough blow for the kid. He was going to start. We'll continue to do well but would have been better with him. BEST OF LUCK Landon.
Well, I've seen comments that PSU has better OL depth than we've seen in a long while.
This will be a test.
Next man up and best wishes to Landon.

It wouldn't be Penn State without someone on the 2 deep ending a career during preseason. We can not have nice things.
If he was healthy and was around he would have started.
Damn shame!

Just me or do we have more of these medical retirements than other schools. That 5* tackle a few years ago, journey, and no this. And for whatever reason, its always guys with great promise.
No he would not have. In fact he was not a true starter last year, Nourzad had as many snaps
You gotta stop with the nonsense. We all know the plan was to start him. Read the article. Actually don't. You'll still be confused.
Pretty sad. Football is such a great sport but it comes with a heavy price.
Appreciate his time here and wish him all the best. He has developed a terrific network of friends while on the team that will bear fruit for decades.

Whatever his promise, whatever his star rating, this sucks for the kid. That is the only thing that should matter to fans. Whether a young man is hopelessly stuck in 4th string or is a future NFL draft choice, having an injury take away his ability to play a game he loves is cause for empathy. Good luck to you, Landon, in all that you do.
Look it up a$$hole. Let's see how you feel when one of your Michigan starters goes down
First off, you quoted yourself
Second, you tried to say he wasn't a starter
Third, so today I'm a Michigan fan...interesting
Damn. I feel so badly for the young man. All those hours of work he put in and it’s gone in a snap. He was a very talented player, too. Could certainly have played in the NFL. Wish him all the best.
Major bummer. More for the kid than us fans. Hoping he can quickly find a new passion in life. Go Landon and go PSU!
Nope it just you follow them closer. The screenings have gotten much better and guys understand the long term risk.
These stories always leave a lot of questions. Was it a concussion? Something that would put him at risk of long-term injury if he continued?Happy Valley Insider - Penn State offensive lineman Landon Tengwall medically retires

About 20 years ago, I remember a local kid getting a concussion and a stinger. In the following scans, they found something unusual in his vertebrae. They recommended he stop playing and he did.
Can't confirm the rumored concussion issues for tengwall but TBI is extremely serious. Each TBI makes the next significantly more probable and more damaging. A large number of nfl players end up with CTE. Brain health is just too important for an athlete who is showing serious risk to continue IMO. I think Landon and those close to him made the right call if this was his issue.
am friends with a coach from a previous era at PSU. Was having lunch with him in team cafeteria and he was commenting on kids coming in door for lunch. And a kid came in that we as in we on McCandrew boards were all excited about. Friend says "he will never play" because they discovered after he got to campus he had a series of severe concussions, unreported to them, while still in HS. Team/ school was not going to expose him to that risk. Not saying that's what going on with Tengwall, I have no information on his case, but as you say TBI is something to take seriously at a young age.
What's with the name calling? Tengwall was projected to start this year. Everybody but you knows that. If you realize now you've made a mistake, man up and admit it. End your nonsense.
This makes me think of Doug Sieg, a QB from Bellefonte back when Tony Sacca was pushed into action in 1988. He had to medically retire after they found he had a narrow spinal column or something like that. He's now CEO of Lord Abbett, so I think his decision worked out OK.
His Dad Phil probably had a lot to do with the Lord Abbett thing but yes, he made the right decision.
The other kid that came to mind was Chad Crell, who would have been the successor to Wally Richardson, instead of McQueary.
No he wasn't a starter last year. He was listed in all five of his games as "or" with Nourzad, and Hunter had more snaps.
Chad Kroell from Clearfield. Not sure if he was really next up or not, but I do know Joe mentioned him at times.
He was at fall camp for a couple days, but his absence was noted by the end of the first week.
