Packers WR Devin Funchess apologizes for anti-Asian remark

After Green Bay's practice on Saturday, Funchess walked into the media auditorium and said he was happy to see reporters in person after only talking to them via Zoom over the last year due to COVID-19.

Reporters are still required to wear masks, and Funchess used an anti-Asian slur and pointed to his eyes when he told reporters that he still can see them smiling even with a mask on, according to ESPN's Rob Demovsky.

Funchess has not played an NFL game in almost two years after opting out of the 2020 season due to COVID-19 concerns and suffering a broken collarbone during the 2019 campaign. 

The 27-year-old has 164 catches for 2,265 yards and 21 touchdowns in 62 career games with the Carolina Panthers and Indianapolis Colts. 

Funchess is on a one-year, $2.5 million deal with the Packers. He'll become a free agent after the 2021 campaign.
