A day after he was surprisingly suspended by the Patriots, Jake Bailey is taking action.
The fourth-year punter is filing a grievance against the suspension, Bailey’s agent, Doug Hendrickson, said in a statement to the NFL Network on Saturday while his client is still recovering from a back injury.
“While Jake Bailey was on IR he never missed a single treatment, meeting, or practice,” Hendrickson said. “He was hoping to come off IR to play last weekend, but Jake was being informed he was being suspended these last two games. This comes as a surprise given his full participation during injury reserve.
