Report: Eagles Wide Receiver Marquise Goodwin Opting Out Of 2020 Season

PHILADELPHIA (CBS)- The Eagles began arriving at the NovaCare Complex Monday for the first of several days of COVID-19 testing. One player that will not be joining the team is newly acquired wide receiver Marquise Goodwin. According to NFL Network reporter Ian Rapoport, Goodwin has informed the team that he will be opting out of the 2020 NFL season.

The 29-year-old Goodwin just welcomed a daughter to his family earlier this year, and as Rapoport points out, Goodwin and his wife have had difficulties with child birth previously. So, Goodwin is taking advantage of the NFL's opt-out clause in order to protect his family.

The Eagles acquired Goodwin in a trade with the San Francisco 49ers during this year's NFL Draft while swapping sixth round picks.
