Jets brush-off training camp fight between Lorenzo Mauldin, Kelvin Beachum

FLORHAM PARK -- The Jets' 12th training camp practice had a bit of a mixed martial arts feel.

Midway through the workout, a fight broke out between outside linebacker Lorenzo Mauldin and left tackle Kelvin Beachum. Mauldin was seen standing over Beachum -- who was laying on his stomach. Mauldin threw several punches to the back of Beachum's helmet-covered head before teammates intervened.

"There's one in every camp," coach Todd Bowles said. "This just happened to be the one. So, officially, training camp started today."

After the incident, Bowles made the entire team run a series of gassers, and called a mid-practice meeting.
