In the heat of battle in NFL training camps, skirmishes are bound to break out. It’s just the nature of the competitive environment in the heat with pads on.
That was the case in Latrobe Wednesday. The Steelers had a fight break out following a hit on quarterback Justin Fields from linebacker Elandon Roberts, leading to quite the interruption to practice with some players ending up on the ground and words being exchanged.
For Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin, who may have set the tone for the chippy practice ahead with his choice of shoes in the morning, the training camp fight is a moment to teach and learn from for his team.
