Buffalo Bills cornerback E.J. Gaines became the latest NFL player to opt out of the 2020 season over COVID-19 concerns, general manager Brandon Beane announced Sunday.

Gaines missed the entire 2019 season with a core muscle injury and was playing on a one-year contract he signed with the Bills in April. He was slated to make $935,000 in base salary and will instead receive a $150,000 stipend for voluntarily opting out.
