Another day, another fight in Bears-Patriots joint practices, and another ejection from the session.

Via multiple reports, center Bryan Stork was sent to the showers by coach Bill Belichick for fighting with Bears players. Tom Curran of CSN New England reports that Stork reacted to a “post-play shove in the shoulder by John Timu with a jab to the throat and another wild swing.”

That was enough to trigger the move to remove Stork, because the Bears and Patriots have agreed to not tolerate fighting during the joint sessions.

On Monday, Belichick booted cornerback Malcolm Butler from practice for fighting with Bears receiver Alshon Jeffery, who also was removed for the balance of the day.
