Philadelphia Eagles linebacker Kamu Grugier-Hill apologized to his team and head coach Doug Pederson on Friday after he referred to the Dallas Cowboys as "chokers" earlier in the week.
"It's a rivalry game. I didn't think too much about it," Grugier-Hill told reporters. "I didn't mean to disrespect this organization or Coach Pederson. I have a lot of confidence in the guys and in myself going into this game, and I'm ready to play."
Grugier-Hill made the initial remarks Wednesday as the Eagles ramped up preparations for their NFC East showdown with the Cowboys on Sunday.
