The Miami Dolphins have lost their second wide receiver in as many days. The Dolphins learned yesterday that veteran wide receiver Allen Hurns would be sitting out the 2020 season due to concerns regarding the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. Now, today, another veteran wide receiver has chosen the same path: Albert Wilson will also not play football this season.
Wilson announced his decision with the NFL player deadline looming just over 24 hours from now.
“Not an easy decision to make…
I’ve decided to opt out of this 2020 season. It was a very tough choice but since the day I started playing the game it has always been Faith Family Football. Because of this crazy time I choose to put my family in the best situation I see fit. I will stand by my teammates & brothers to support them 100% throughout this season and will be counting the days until I can join them again. One love – AWII” wrote Wilson on his prepared statement announcing his decision.
The Dolphins’ pass catchers were a strength of the team at the end of the 2020 season, although after Miami’s thorough rebuild and two opt-outs it is difficult to say the same for the coming year as Miami draws closer to kickoff.
