Falcons End Practice Early After Pair of Fights

Falcons practice ended early on Saturday after two fights broke out between teammates.

The first fight included defensive lineman Jalen Dalton. The 25-year-old was kicked out of practice after a “good-sized scrum,” per ESPN’s Michael Rothstein. Dalton reportedly swung at offensive tackle Germain Ifedi after the two shoved each other.

The second fight included nose tackle Anthony Rush. The 360-pound lineman brought center Jonotthan Harrison to the ground, and that was all coach Arthur Smith needed to see to end practice.

Rush gave a reason for his action after Saturday’s practice, per The Athletic.
