Washington defensive tackle Daron Payne allegedly walked off the practice field during OTA drills on Tuesday, per a report in The Athletic.

Per the report, Payne walked off the field in anger due to the lack of a new extension entering the fifth and final year of his rookie contract. Payne initially participated in the practice on Tuesday, but the report indicated that he walked off the field and onto a patch of land that is typically used for injured players who are rehabbing. Payne is not dealing with any injuries.

Payne responded to the report on his personal Twitter account Wednesday afternoon.
