After a fight involving running back LeSean McCoy and defensive end Trent Cole on Sunday, another fight broke out in training camp for the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday.
According to Geoff Mosher of CSNPhilly.com, a scuffle took place between receiver Jeremy Maclin and cornerback Bradley Fletcher during the team’s first full-padded practice of camp. The two players hooked up and exchanged blows after a physical play toward the end of practice.
“One thing led to another,” Fletcher said. “It’s football. Emotions get going and things happen, but we’re all just working to get better.”
Head coach Chip Kelly didn’t seem to be overly concerned about the fight between McCoy and Cole on Sunday either.
“Yeah, their emotions got the better part of them. Those things happen. It’s no different than sometimes little kids don’t get along very well and throw Tonka trucks at each other,” Kelly said. "...That two kids push each other in practice somewhere. It’s not a real big deal.”
The Eagles had just two fights in all of training camp a season ago. Now they’ve had two fights in as many days.
