Packers’ Quay Walker pushes a member of the Lions training staff and is thrown out of the game

Green Bay Packers rookie linebacker Quay Walker was knocked out of Sunday night’s game against the Detroit Lions after a strange skirmish in the fourth quarter.

The incident happened at about 7:24 into the game. Lions running back D’Andre Swift was looking for extra yards as they were three points behind. Swift went down after being tackled and received a forearm to the head from Packers defensive tackle Jarran Reed.

Penalty flags came out after the game was over and it appeared officials would give Reed an unnecessary roughness penalty for the hit, but Walker was penalized instead.

Walker was seen shoving a Lions coach who had come out to tend to Swift. The trainer tried to get to Swift, who was on the ground. Replay of the incident showed Walker pushing the coach.
