GREEN BAY \u2212 In the space of a breath, Quay Walker realized several things: he’d just messed up, again; he’d set himself up for punishment, again; and he’d firmly entrenched what he believes is a distorted view of his attitude in the minds of millions of football fans. <\/p>\n
\u201cTo be honest, the split second after I did it,\u201d he said, \u201cI asked myself, why did I just do that? Cause as soon as it happened, I was like, ‘man going through this again.’\u201d<\/p>\n
Walker was ejected during the fourth quarter of the Green Bay Packers 20-16 loss to the Detroit Lions on Sunday. The loss kept the Packers out of the playoffs and the ejection gave the rookie linebacker his second of the season. <\/p>\n
It came in the fourth quarter with Green Bay leading 16-13 and just less than 8 minutes to play. Detroit quarterback Jared Goff threw a short pass to D’Andre Swift for a 2-yard gain. Swift was injured on the play and a Lions athletic trainer jogged on to the field to check on the running back. <\/p>\n
Walker, who played college football with Swift at Georgia, said he went over to check on his friend. <\/p>\n
\u201cI was checking on him,\u201d Walker said Monday. \u201cI played with him two or three years and I was talking to him. But that’s the trainer’s job. I need to get out of the way, let him do his job.\u201d <\/p>\n
