Eric Reid was ejected from Thursday night’s loss to the Steelers for what was unquestionably a penalty, hitting Ben Roethlisberger mid-slide. After the game, coach Ron Rivera called the ejection unwarranted.

The NFL apparently wasn’t done with Reid yet.
According to a report by Marcel Louis-Jacques at the Charlotte Observer, the league randomly selected Reid for a drug test following the game.
The NFL has randomly selected Eric Reid to take a drug test after tonight's game.
Reid's response: "This is like the fifth time since I've been here … They're not going to catch me on anything."

Reid has been getting the brunt of bad calls this year. He was fined over $10,000 by the league for an unnecessary roughness penalty in week 7.
Maybe him suing the league has just a little bit to do with it?
