linebacker Nathan Gerry offered a public apology Thursday night after racist tweets he sent in 2011 resurfaced on social media.
"I am incredibly disappointed in myself and downright sick over these actions because I know that they don't reflect my values as a person," Gerry wrote in a message posted to Twitter. "But more importantly because I understand the damage that my words have caused. That type of language is never acceptable."
The Eagles released a statement Thursday expressing their regret as well.
“We were very disappointed to learn of Nate Gerry’s insensitive social media posts,” the Eagles said, per Chris Franklin of NJ.
