Olivier Vernon, Wayne Gallman involved in tussle at Giants camp

After two days of quiet practices in full pads, the Giants had their first flare-up of training camp on Monday. In fact, they had two.

The first came after linebacker Olivier Vernon caught running back Wayne Gallman in the air while he was catching a pass and then slammed him to the ground. Vernon walked away but Gallman took exception and gave Vernon a shove. That was enough to create a scrum of players from both sides of the ball and practice halted for a few minutes. Vernon actually was not part of that melee despite starting it.
