“It is unacceptable” Packers coach Matt LaFleur addressed rookie Quay Walker being ejected for the second time this season after shoving a Lions athletic trainer
Sunday at Lambeau Field. The loss was tough enough, but the manner in which they took that loss will be remembered for a long time. who was on the field tending to injured RB D'Andre Swift. The move resulted in Walker's ejection -- the second time this season the rookie has been tossed from a game -- and the penalty put the Lions first-and-goal from the 5-yard line. Three plays later, RB Jamaal Williams scored from one yard out to give the Lions the last lead of the game.
Packers coach Matt LaFleur spoke about the incident after the game, and didn't mince words over Walker's conduct. "I have a much higher standard for our players than to do something silly like that," LaFleuer said. "We've had a guy ejected twice. I don't think I've ever seen that in my career. I take that very personally. It is unacceptable."
Walker, the team's first-round draft pick out of Georgia, finished the season with 121 total tackles, forcing three fumbles and adding 1.5 sacks. A productive player with a first-round pedigree isn't likely to find himself on waivers, but it's reasonable to assume Walker is firmly entrenched in LaFleur's doghouse now.
