OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- Baltimore Ravens safety Earl Thomas was sent home Friday after a fiery on-field argument with a teammate.
The incident was sparked by a missed assignment by Thomas, he confirmed in an Instagram post. He wrote: "Being sent home sucks. I can't take the reps I need to keep momentum going. But I can reflect on things and keep working my plan to help the team win."
"A mental error on my part. A busted coverage that I tried to explain calmly (met) with built-up aggression turned into me getting into with a teammate.
