Rams safety Quentin Lake has apologized to Justin Herbert for comments he made about Herbert on the St. Brown Podcast, according to a Fox News report. The outlet said Lake described Herbert as "throwing deli meat" following an interception against the Chargers.

Fox News's summary of the report also says Lake told the podcast that Herbert was seeing ghosts. The summary does not describe the context of that remark in further detail. The summary identifies the program only as the St. Brown Podcast and gives no other details of the exchange, including who else took part.

Fox News's headline described the remark as having some basis while reporting that Lake apologized for it. That characterization is the outlet's own judgment and is reported here as such, not as an established finding. The headline and summary are the only materials available for this account, and neither contains a transcript of the podcast.

Fox News's summary and headline do not state the wording of the apology, whether Herbert has responded, or when the podcast was recorded or aired. The report also does not give the score or result of the game in which the interception occurred.

The article's web address places it within the OutKick sports section of Fox News's site. Because no other outlet's account was available for comparison, the sequence of events is reported on the authority of Fox News alone, and the remarks are presented as that outlet described them.
