Over the past week, over 30 NFL players have decided to opt out of the 2020 season due to health concerns amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. Reasons for their concern have varied from person to person. Some have a loved one in a high-risk category, others themselves may be considered high-risk due to their weight or medical history. Another common reason we’ve seen players opt out is because they have an infant child or one on the way.
That last concern relates to Detroit Lions safety Tracy Walker, who is expecting a son in the near future.
