Matthew Judon explained his side of what happened at Monday’s practice when he left after being spotted having a conversation with coach Jerod Mayo before coming back for an animated conversation with a team executive.

“We had a conversation. I didn’t want to be a distraction to the team so I went inside,” Judon said. “I wasn’t participating in those drills that day, so I went inside and then I got a message so I came back and talked to our GM and then I went back inside.”

Judon jokingly aplogized for appearing animated during the conversation and talking with his hands.
