A number of players around the NFL have begun to opt-out of the 2020 campaign with the lingering COVID-19 pandemic upon us, and Nate Solder added his name to the list on Wednesday. The New York Giants veteran left tackle’s son is currently battling cancer. The 32-year-old is a cancer survivor himself.
It’s very much a respected move amid the tough times in our world, and the organization is certainly feeling that way. Both general manager Dave Gettleman and head coach Joe Judge responded to the news shortly after Solder’s decision.
