Eric Reid Calls Malcolm Jenkins A “Sell-Out” After Pregame Altercation

Newly signed Panthers safety Eric Reid got into a pre-game altercation with Philadelphia Eagles safety Malcolm Jenkins, reigniting their disagreement over the handling of the anthem protests that sparked a national outrage last year.

While the pregame coin toss was taking place on Sunday, FOX cameras caught Reid addressing Jenkins, who stepped up to Reid. The back-and-fourth continued as several teammates had to restrain Reid.
