Cleveland Browns defensive end Chris Smith, whose girlfriend died last week, plans to play Monday Night Football against the New York Jets.
Petara Cordero was killed Wednesday on a highway in Cleveland. Smith and Cordero had a girl together last month. Cordero was 26 years old.
"I'm going to play tonight because it's something that she would like me to do," Smith said in a statement. "She would like me to continue doing what I love and stay strong, I'm playing for her tonight, she's my reason."
On Wednesday, Smith was arrested after his vehicle, a 2019 Lamborghini of which Cordero was a passenger, suffered a malfunction of the tire and reached the median. Cordero came out of the vehicle and stood on the shoulder of the road when a car driven by a 47-year-old woman crashed against the passenger side of Smith's car.
