Bengals training camp erupts into scuffles before preseason Week 1
It seems fights have been a theme of training camp this week and the Cincinnati Bengals suddenly aren't some special exception.
At practice on the fields near Paycor Stadium on Wednesday, a routine session broke out into a fight after an interaction between Logan Wilson and Ted Karras looped in other players.
After a normal-looking play, Wilson appeared to hit Karras in the helmet, prompting Alex Cappa to come over and defend his fellow offensive lineman by shoving Wilson.
From there, plenty of other players got involved, with Karras notably seeming to laugh it off.
The Athletic's Paul Dehner Jr. provided footage of the whole thing:
And another much smaller dust-up with the second team a minute later after a tackle to the ground. These guys need to start playing somebody else in a hurry.

The Bengals and players will, of course, brush this off like it's nothing after the fact.
And for the most part, that's true, as this is typical August stuff before the season, provided the team doesn't suffer any further injuries that require free-agent signings to fill the gaps on the depth chart.
