PHILADELPHIA — It was clear something bothered Eric Reid before the Panthers’ 21-17 victory on Sunday over the Philadelphia Eagles. Not one to waste words, he left no doubt as to why after the game.

Reid had to be separated from Eagles safety Malcolm Jenkins before kickoff on Sunday when the two exchanged words at midfield after the captains meeting. Before the altercation, Reid stared Jenkins down during player introductions and was restrained by Panthers receiver Devin Funchess and secondary coach Richard Rodgers when an official appeared to ask Reid to return to his sideline.
