Panthers’ Robbie Anderson Explains Why He Got Kicked Out of Game

After being sent to the locker room during Sunday’s ugly road loss to the Rams, Panthers wide receiver Robbie Anderson attempted to clear the air while addressing the situation that led to his ejection mid-way through the game.

Anderson was sent to the locker room by interim coach Steve Wilks after getting into multiple arguments with receivers coach Joe Dailey. Anderson stepped up to Dailey during a heated conversation in the second quarter and again got into it with the assistant in the third, prompting Wilks to step in as a mediator before sending him off the field.

After the game, Anderson spoke with reporters and shared that his actions stemmed from a disagreement he had with the coaching staff about subbing out of the game on third down. He also explained that he wanted to speak with the media because he didn’t want anybody to “have a misconception about me.”
