Washington Redskins cornerback Josh Norman made his first appearance on the field since Week 12 on Sunday when his team took on the Philadelphia Eagles.
Norman, who was on the wrong end of a Carson Wentz key touchdown pass to Greg Ward Jr., spoke to reporters about his benching for the first time, as ESPN noted.
“I don’t think I’ve spoken in a long time just because I want to be prepared and everything, but I’ve been built up strong,” Norman said. “This has made me stronger. I will rise again for it, because that’s who I am.”
