Packers' Quay Walker Was Ejected After Shoving Lions Team Trainer, Then Cries While Walking Out
For the second time this season, Green Bay Packers rookie linebacker Quay Walker has been ejected for unsportsmanlike conduct.
This time, Walker was thrown out of Sunday night's regular-season finale with 7:24 left after he shoved a member of the Detroit Lions' medical staff who was tending to injured running back D'Andre Swift on the field.
For Walker to shove a medical professional coming to the aid of a player after a week in which the entire football world praised the medical professionals who resuscitated Damar Hamlin on the field is particularly appalling.
His head coach was not pleased at all.
«That is unacceptable,» LaFleur said. «I've got a much higher standard for our players than to do silly things like that. We've got a guy ejected twice. I don't think I've ever seen that in my career. We've got to be much more mentally tough. Any time our guys commit personal fouls I take that very personally because I think that's always a reflection of myself and the standards we set for these players. And we've got to be better and we've got to learn from that because that is unacceptable.»
