When asked to elaborate on why Hawkins was released, head coach Matt Rhule declined.

“I would just say we thought it was in the best interest of the team,” Rhule told reporters. The NFL is cracking down on COVID-19 protocol violations after a rash of outbreaks forced the league to reshuffle its schedule several times since Week 3.

Hawkins  has been in the NFL since 2016.  He hasn’t been active for a game since 2018.
