Ravens safety Chuck Clark declines to comment on Earl Thomas III incident: 'We're just moving forward'
Ravens safety Chuck Clark on Monday declined to comment on the on-field altercation with Earl Thomas III that led to the Pro Bowl safety’s abrupt release Sunday, saying the team had moved on.
“I’m doing good, but right now, as a team and as an organization, we’re just moving forward and putting that situation in the rearview,” Clark said in his first comments of training camp. “We’re just trying to get through training camp healthy and get to to the first game.”
On Friday, Clark confronted Thomas after a coverage breakdown that Thomas later acknowledged was his fault. The players twice had to be separated, and Clark left the practice field before the end of the session. Thomas was told to go home and did not practice Saturday.
On Sunday, the Ravens announced that they’d terminated Thomas’ contract for “personal conduct that has adversely affected” the team. If the Ravens attempt to void the $10 million in guaranteed base salary owed to Thomas, he’s expected to file a grievance with the NFL Players Association.
