Unsurprisingly, family health appears to be the prime motivator for the decision to sit out for the season. Without going into detail, Funchess referenced the fact that his family has directly felt the impact of COVID-19. In order to best protect those closest to him, Funchess has decided not to expose himself to the rigors of the NFL season.
