So far, about 45 players have decided to opt-out of playing in the 2020 NFL season due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. Unfortunately for the Patriots, they’ve had, far and away, the most players from their roster take this option. In total, eight Patriots won’t be playing. Those are:
- LB Dont’a Hightower
- S Patrick Chung
- OT Marcus Cannon
- RB Brandon Bolden
- FB Danny Vitale
- OL Najee Toran
- WR Marquise Lee

Of these eight, important starters or players include Hightower, Chung, Cannon and Lee. As of now, the Patriots don’t expect any more opt-outs.
