Chukwuma Okorafor’s future in the NFL appears to be up in the air after the New England Patriots placed him on the exempt/left squad list on Saturday. The veteran offensive tackle is reportedly mulling stepping away from the game.
“Okorafor was placed on the Exempt/Left squad list because he’s reconsidering if he still wants to play football,” Karen Guregian of MassLive wrote on social media on. “The team has been in touch with his representatives.”
Okorafor, 27, originally entered the league as a third-round draft pick by the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2018.
