More National Football League players are opting out of playing next season due to the coronavirus than many had expected, with some three dozen players already saying they are skipping the season.

That's less than in other sports, with about a dozen opting out in the NBA and MLB, and only about half that in the NHL.

The latest to say they're opting out is Kansas City Chiefs running back Damien Williams, a key part of their championship run last season, who said Thursday he won't be playing. 

 

ACC Season Begins September 12

The ACC announced an 11-game football season Thursday that will begin September 12, and include FBS independent Notre Dame playing a full league schedule.

They will play 10 conference games and one nonconference game of their choosing, and Notre Dame will be eligible for the championship. All of this depends on if it's allowed by public health guidelines.
