San Francisco 49ers’ wide receiver Travis Benjamin has opted-out of the 2020 season.

The San Francisco 49ers have officially had their first player opt-out of the 2020 NFL season as veteran wide receiver Travis Benjamin made his announcement late on Tuesday night.

Benjamin joins a growing list of NFL players to opt-out of the 2020 season amidst growing concerns over the safety of play given the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

But while the list of players has reached over 60 at this point, Benjamin is so far the only 49ers player to officially announce his decision.
