Wims’s actions seemed to be unprovoked at the time, but he reportedly outlined what set him off when talking to team officials.

#Bears WR Javon Wims told team officials that #Saints CB C.J. Gardner-Johnson spit on him, in addition to ripping out Wims’ mouthpiece, during Sunday’s game before Wims sucker punched Gardner-Johnson, per sources.

Wims was ejected. The NFL is now considering a suspension, too.
