I'd honestly forgotten a lot of the details with the Lap/ Gresham incident myself. That was almost 7 years ago. I just looked it all back up. It happened mid December, and Gresham was dealing with a toe injury. Marvin Lewis at one point referred to it as painful but not debilitating. Lapham makes his comments about Jermaine not suiting up ( they were in the midst of a stretch where they really had to finish hard to make the playoffs) Lapham and Gresham have words from a distance on the air during the post game show. In March of 2015 (basically 90 days later) Gresham had surgery for a herniated disc in his back.

I guess Gresham could've possibly hurt his back off the field doing whatever between mid December and March, but it seems to me there's a pretty good chance that was a factor when he sat that mid December game out. Anybody with a bad back will testify.

All in all, I just remember thinking it was weak when Lapham spouted off like that on Gresham. The guy was hurt and couldn't go that day.
