What NFL Player Walked Off the Field?

Did you see what NFL player walked off the field during the game? Get the latest scoop on why he did it and what his teammates had to say about it.

Introduction

In 2017, NFL player Chris Borland shocked the sports world when he retired from the NFL at the age of 24. He was a rising star in the league, having just been named the AP Defensive Rookie of the Year, but he walked away from the game because of concerns about head injuries.

Borland’s decision put a spotlight on the issue of player safety in the NFL, and raised questions about the long-term health risks of playing football. Since then, several other players have retired early due to concerns about brain injuries, including Patriots linebacker Brandon Browner and Eagles offensive lineman Evan Mathis.

As more and more players walk away from the game due to fears about their health, it’s important to understand the risks that they are taking. In this article, we’ll take a look at some of the science behind head injuries in football, and explore why players are choosing to walk away from the game.

What NFL player walked off the field?

In a stunning move, an NFL player walked off the field during the middle of a game. The player, who has not been identified, left the game and went to the locker room. It is unclear why the player walked off the field or if he will return.

Why did he walk off the field?

Many professional athletes have taken a knee during the playing of the National Anthem as a way to protest police brutality and racial inequality. One player who has been particularly outspoken on this issue is San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick.

During a preseason game in 2016, Kaepernick first sat down during the National Anthem, and then later kneeled, as a way to protest what he felt was happening to black Americans in the United States. “I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color,” he told NFL Media at the time. “To me, this is bigger than football and it would be selfish on my part to look the other way. There are bodies in the street and people getting paid leave and getting away with murder.”

Since then, other players have followed suit, including Seattle Seahawks defensive end Michael Bennett and most recently, Martellus Bennett of the Green Bay Packers. But no player has caused more of stir than 49ers safety Eric Reid.

Reid was the first player to kneel alongside Kaepernick, and he has continued to do so throughout the season. On Sunday, during their game against the New York Giants, Reid left the field during the playing of “The Star-Spangled Banner” and walked into the tunnel. He later emerged from the tunnel with his teammates for kickoff.

When asked about his decision to leave the field during the anthem, Reid said he wanted “to be able to use [his] platform for more than just politics.”

“I thought it was important that I showed support for my peers in their efforts to create change in our country,” he said. ” Seeing everyone locking arms last week brought back memories of 2014 when we all came together after Mike Brown’s murder.”

Since then, other players have joined Reid in his protests, including Seahawks wide receiver Doug Baldwin, who said he plansto sit during the anthem until he sees “progress” being made on social injustice issues.

How did the NFL react?

The NFL responded by suspending the player for one game.
