The Atlanta Falcons are ready to get to work with players arriving for the start of 2020 training camp, but it won’t be business as usual this season due to the COVID-19 outbreak.
On Tuesday morning, it was reported that over 20 players had opted out of the upcoming season, including six members of New England Patriots.
The news has shaken up the league, but fortunately the Falcons have no players opting out as of yet, according to head coach Dan Quinn.
The fear of key players opting out is another hurdle for NFL head coaches, who were already at a disadvantage without having the preseason to evaluate talent.
Some of the notable players to opt out thus far are Seahawks guard Chance Warmack, Patriots safety Patrick Chung and Chiefs guard Laurent Duvernay-Tardif.
