NFL players across the league have been very vocal against playing this season, and rightfully so. Their health as well as the health of their loved ones have been on their minds ever since the league and NFLPA have been talking on how to head into the season.
One of the most recent players to speak on the issue is Buccaneers left tackle Donovan Smith.
The veteran took to Instagram to speak his mind, voicing his concerns.
“The unfortunate events of the COVID-19 pandemic have put a halt to a lot of things. Football is not one. To continue discussing the many UNKNOWNS do not give me the comfort. Risking my health as well as my family’s health does not seem like a risk worth taking. With my first child due in 3 weeks, I can’t help but think about how will I be able to go to work and take proper precautions around 80+ people everyday to then go home to be with my newborn daughter.”
