After the game Thursday night, McCarthy discussed the fact that Randall had been benched for the second half.
“It’s an internal matter and we’re working through it,” he said after the game, per ESPN’s Rob Demovsky.
Through four games this season, Randall has tallied 18 total tackles and has defended one pass. He has yet to log an interception. It’s unclear why Randall got into the argument with the coach that led to his benching. He had five tackles in the first half Thursday night against Chicago.
