NFL training camps have started and it’s usually the time when reporters and coaches say which players has impressed them with their performance so far. But this year is different.

The story of NFL training camp so far is the large number of fights between players during practices. At the start of training camp, Dallas Cowboys star wide receiver Dez Bryant got into a fight with teammate Tyler Patmon. On Saturday, during a joint practice between the Houston Texans and the Washington Redskins, two large fights broke out between players from both teams. The fights halted practice and eventually the two teams practiced separate from one another. Then on Monday, Carolina Panthers franchise quarterback Cam Newton got into a fight with teammate and cornerback Josh Norman after an interception. Today, New York Jets quarterback Geno Smith got into a fist-fight with teammate IK Enemkpali in the team locker room. A punch by Enemkpali broke Smith’s jaw and it was announced that Smith would miss 6-10 weeks recovering from surgery. Enemkpali was released by the team after the fight.

Teammates getting into fights at training camp is not a new thing. We see it happen every year and brush it off as players expressing their aggression. Younger players and players trying to make the team get into fights to stick up for themselves and try to earn respect. But players and coaches should be careful with fights in training camp. Small scuffles between two players is ok, but when it turns into a WWE fight like most of these examples have been, there is a huge problem. Notable players could get hurt and miss a significant amount of time, a possibility that was proven today. Fans love these fights and view them as entertaining, but the coaches of these teams view fights as counterproductive. Jets head coach Todd Bowles called todays fight “childish.” Soon, the coaches or even the league will have to do something about these fights.
