GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) -- Green Bay Packers wide receiver Devin Funchess is opting out of playing this season in a move he calls one of the most difficult decisions he's ever made.
Funchess' choice leaves Green Bay without its only major offseason addition to their receiving group, one year after Davante Adams was the only Packer to catch as many as 50 passes or accumulate as many as 500 yards receiving.
The 26-year-old Funchess announced his decision in an Instagram post. Funchess noted that some of his closest relatives ''have experienced the life-threatening impact of COVID-19 first hand.
