New England Patriots wide receiver Marqise Lee and New York Jets linebacker C.J. Mosley have both decided to sit out the 2020 NFL season due to coronavirus concerns.
Lee, who signed a one-year contract with the Patriots in April, became a first-time father in February and said protecting his daughter and family is the reason for his decision.
"This is a big sit-down process I had, with me and my significant other, as far as family goes," Lee told ESPN.
"The risk factor in which we believe that's going to be there, it just wasn't worth it in a sense.
