On-field scuffles are a regular occurrence during training camp practices and different teams deal with them in different ways.
According to multiple reports from Patriots practice on Tuesday, wide receiver Julian Edelman and cornerback Stephon Gilmore came together after an incompletion in the end zone during a drill. Things escalated from there and both players’ helmets came off as they scuffled with one another.
Pats coach Bill Belichick has a standing rule that any fight during practice leads directly to an ejection, so it’s not a surprise that Edelman and Gilmore were sent to the showers early.
Both players were told to leave the practice field after the fight.
