With just two days remaining until the opt-out deadline, Allen Hurns is the first Miami Dolphins player to opt out of the 2020 NFL season due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The six-year veteran took to Twitter on Tuesday afternoon to announce his decision.
With a baby boy on the way, Hurns thought it was in his best interest to take a step back and focus on his family, instead of trying to play during the COVID-19 pandemic. Players have until Thurday at 4 p.m. to opt-out of the season. If a player is considered a high risk for COVID-19, they can earn $350,000 if they choose to opt-out.
