A number of NFL players have made the decision to opt out of the upcoming season amid concerns over the impact of the coronavirus pandemic across the United States.
Changes made to the collective bargaining agreement by the NFL and NFLPA are what have granted players the option of making such decisions.
The first player to opt out of the 2020 season was Kansas City Chiefs guard Laurent Duvernay-Tardif, who is the only player in the league with a medical doctorate and has been serving as an orderly at a long-term care facility in Montreal during the pandemic.
Those who choose to opt out will receive salary advances. Players who opt out voluntarily will received $150,000 for the season, however that doesn't apply to undrafted rookies who opt out voluntarily.
Players who opt out for medical reasons and are deemed at high risk are meanwhile due to receive $350,000, with contracts for all those who opt out to toll to 2021.
Veteran players were the final batch to report to training camp on July 28, following on from the arrival of rookies, injured players and quarterbacks the previous week. Safety measures are in place at training camp facilities in order to protect players, including reduced capacities in gyms and meeting rooms.
Players had until 9pm UK time on Thursday, August 6 to decide whether or not to opt out of the 2020 campaign.
