Cardinals offensive tackle Marcus Gilbert has opted out of the 2020 season.
ESPN's Adam Schefter first reported the news on Tuesday, shortly after coach Kliff Kingsbury said in a press conference that he had not had discussions with players about opting out.
Gilbert is the first Cardinals player to do so. The deadline for players to opt out has been set for Thursday afternoon.
"While this decision was not easy for me, I felt it was the best decision due to my standing as a high-risk player with high-risk family members," Gilbert tweeted in a statement.
