Los Angeles Rams safety Quentin Lake has apologized to Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert for comments Lake made referring to Herbert as "deli meat" and suggesting he was "seeing ghosts" on the field.
Lake's remarks, which were made during a recent media appearance, drew attention for their unusual phrasing. The Rams defensive back subsequently reached out to Herbert to express regret for the comments.
Herbert has not publicly responded to the apology. Both players are entering their third NFL seasons, with Lake playing for the Rams and Herbert for the Chargers.
