Green Bay Packers rookie linebacker Quay Walker spoke with media on Monday to address his ejection versus the Lions, after pushing an athletic trainer for incidents that occurred during the Week 18 loss to the Detroit Lions.
Walker was fined $13,261 for shoving a Lions athletic training staff member while play was stopped for an injured Detroit player. Walker was flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct and ejected. It was Walker's second such incident and ejection of the year, the first coming during the Week 8 loss to the Buffalo Bills. "I reached out to the trainer earlier today,” Walker said. “I talked to him for a long time. Just continued to apologize and pray he forgive me.
“Really nothing I can do, to be honest with you, 'cause I made a mistake. I did what I did and I own up to that. Just something I gotta live with. Just a mistake I made and pray they forgive me.”
