Rams players, NFL face legal threat as tackled protester files police complaint
Bobby Wagner and Takkarist McKinley were involved in takedown during Rams-49ers game
The animal-rights activist who ran onto the field with a pink smoke bomb at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, on Monday night during a game between the Los Angeles Rams and the San Francisco 49ers has filed a police report for assault by Rams players who tackled him to end his demonstration.

The Santa Clara Police Department told Fox News Digital that a person came in on Tuesday at 1:45 p.m. PT to file a report.

A person close to Alex Taylor, the man who was taken down by Rams linebacker Bobby Wagner and defensive end Takkarist McKinley during his demonstration, also told Fox News Digital that he is considering his options, including legal action against the players involved and the NFL.
