Dallas Cowboys training camp turns turbulent with on-field brawl between the offense and defense

The Cowboys first preseason game will be against the Rams next sunday

The NFL season is just over a month away, following more than six months of absence. The season concluded in Las Vegas with the Kansas City Chiefs claiming the championship, and it will begin with them as well on September 5 at Arrowhead Stadium against MVP Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens.

During these off months, players enjoy their vacations but usually continue training to stay in shape and improve their physical skills. However, nothing compares to donning the gear, strapping on the helmet, and starting serious training with the whole team, all aiming for the same goal: lifting the Vince Lombardi Trophy. The intensity and determination of the teams can be seen in their practices, and today, that intensity overflowed a bit at the Cowboys training camp. After one play, a defensive and offensive player ended up on the ground, and other players rushed in to separate them. With how empty their training sessions have been, probably few saw it live.

In addition to the Cowboys’ scuffle, there were other training sessions with issues today. Michael Pittman, for the second consecutive year with the Indianapolis Colts, got into it, and in Pittsburgh, a late hit on Justin Fields sparked a response from the Steelers’ offense, defending their own as they should. A couple of weeks ago, the Houston Texans, who play tomorrow in the Pro Football Hall of Fame game, also had a minor skirmish. To me, this only shows the teams’ eagerness to start playing meaningful games.
