Seattle Seahawks defensive end Frank Clark didn't take too kindly to his apparent practice punishment.

Clark has missed the last four days of practice, due "coach's discretion," as head coach Pete Carroll termed it but his third-year defensive end doesn't quite see it that way.

Somebody asked me was I banned from practice.?? — Frank Clark (@TheRealFrankC_) August 8, 2017

Yea the medical team banned me until my minor MCL scratch heals up enough. — Frank Clark (@TheRealFrankC_) August 8, 2017

The discipline was surely MORE than just me missing an opportunity to get better but I deserved it. — Frank Clark (@TheRealFrankC_) August 8, 2017

Carroll did not use the word "banned." The News Tribune's Gregg Bell did in a caption for a photo on Twitter. Of course, Bell didn't literally mean ban, as the photo shows Clark at practice near the field not participating; instead, it just means Clark was punished by the coach and not allowed to practice, due to punching his teammate, Germain Ifedi, last Thursday.

That much Carroll made abundantly clear. Clark has been walking around with a knee brace but Carroll clarified that's not why Clark is sitting out.

“[His knee is] something that has been bothering him a little bit. It’s very slight.We know what’s going on. That’s not really the issue of what is going on," he said on Monday.

Defensive coordinator Kris Richard also made it clear Clark had to "earn the right" to practice with the team and that his missed time was in part due to disciplinary reasons, when he spoke to the media on Friday.

Banned or not, Clark will return to practice on Wednesday or Thursday, according to Carroll. It sounds like he hasn't decided yet. Clark isn't helping his case.
