Nate Solder is opting out of the 2020 NFL season.
The Giants' projected starter at left tackle said in a statement on Wednesday that after a period of time “praying, wrestling and listening to God” about his family’s circumstances in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, he has chosen to “pause” for this season.
Solder is a cancer survivor and his son, Hudson, is in the midst of a second battle with cancer. The Solders also welcomed a newborn son in the spring.
