Cameron Brate talks about his COVID-19 case, opt-outs, and mitigated risk around the NFL

Since the Buccaneers tight end released his COVID-19 PSA video, he’s had a lot to answer for regarding his own COVID-19 case. How did he get it? Is he worried about spreading it to his teammates? Did he know he had it during his off season workouts with Tom Brady?

Brate started off his PSA video posted to Instagram by saying:

The Corona virus pandemic has had a devastating effect on our population. And it continues to impact nearly every aspect of our lives.

This couldn’t be closer to the truth, and when Brate was asked about his own experience, he told reporters that he got infected by his fiancee whom he lives with.
