Another joint training camp practice, another fight.
Per Eliot Shorr-Parks, a scuffle broke out after the Colts took exception to Eagles defensive end Derek Barnett putting a hit on rookie QB Anthony Richardson.
According to the 94WIP.com reporter, tons of Philly players flocked over and Jalen Carter had to be held back. “Practice getting feisty,” Shorr-Parks said.
FIGHT!
Looked like Barnett might have hit Richardson to get the ball out. Colts didn’t like it

Things tend to get heated between teams when they finally are able to get reps against opposing players.
This likely won’t be the last of the summer.
