Rivera on Reid drug tests: Should play lottery

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Carolina Panthers coach Ron Rivera knows what he would do as a player if he were chosen seven times for a random drug test as free safety Eric Reid says has happened to him.

"I guess there was something about some mathematician saying it's highly improbable, but definitely possible,'' Rivera said Thursday. "But I'll say this: If my name came up that many times, I'd buy a lottery ticket.''

Reid posted on social media following Sunday's loss to the New Orleans Saints that he had his seventh random test since signing with the Panthers in late September.
