Green Bay Packers rookie linebacker Quay Walker was fined just over $13,000 for his push of a Detroit Lions trainer in the final game of the 2022 regular season.
linebacker Quay Walker was hit in the wallet for the decision to shove a member of the Detroit Lions medical staff in the last game of the 2022 regular season last week., The Associated Press reported Saturday, citing a person familiar with the situation. The rookie defensive player was ejected from the game over the incident as the Packers lost 20-16 and failed to make the NFL playoffs.
"I understand I have to face everything that comes with the decision I’ve made and I’m definitely paying for it now."Packers linebacker Quay Walker celebrates during the first half of the Detroit Lions game Sunday, Jan. 8, 2023, in Green Bay. "Also to explain my frustration in the tunnel," he wrote."I wasn’t upset about being kicked out, I just knew I messed up again and was wrong for what I did and couldn’t believe I did it again. To the Detroit lions and to the entire training staff including the person I did that too. I’m sorry.""That is unacceptable," the Packers coach said, via Pro Football Talk."I’ve got a much higher standard for our players than to do silly things like that.
"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."Ryan Gaydos is the sports editor for Fox News Digital.
