Why Does Negan Have A Bandage On His Arm?

Why does Negan have a bandage on his arm on The Walking Dead? Negan wears tape on his wrist like a baseball player.  Many baseball players tape their wrist to help prevent wrist injuries.  Negan carries his baseball bat, Lucille throughout the series.  He named the bat after his late wife.  He was a high school coach prior to the apocalypse.

The Walking Dead‘s untouchable leader shared some unforgettable moments with Carl Grimes in episode 7 of season 7, “Sing Me A Song.” Carl and Jesus are in the back of the truck on their way to Negan and Jesus is using syrup to leave a trail.  As they get closer to the Saviors’ home base, Jesus suggests they jump out and walk the rest of the way.

Carl tells Jesus to show him how to do it so Jesus jumps out.  Carl decides to stay on the truck and waves at Jesus as the truck enters the Saviors’ compound.  Carl gets a chance to kill Negan.  As the truck pulls into the base, he sees the stalked walkers and grabs a gun.  Carl hears Negan’s voice outside the truck as one of the Saviors sees him inside the truck.

Carl shoots and kills the Savior.  He then explains that he only wants Negan.  Carl ends up shooting and killing another Savior before being tackled by Dwight.  Negan calls Carl adorable.  Negan takes a liking to Carl and gives him a tour of his compound.
