CINCINNATI — Takeaways from the Green Bay Packers’ joint practice with the Cincinnati Bengals on Wednesday:
Elgton Jenkins gets the boot
The last thing teams want in a joint practice is a fight that could end up injuring anyone, let alone a key starter. But in Wednesday’s practice, one of the Packers' best players, guard Elgton Jenkins, got into two skirmishes, the second of which got him thrown out of practice by coach Matt LaFLeur.
Bengals linebacker Germaine Pratt was the clear instigator in Jenkins’ first fight. Jenkins had blocked Pratt to the ground on a middle screen pass.
