This seems like any other preseason joint practice brawl until you look a bit closer. You can make out All-Pro defensive end Aaron Donald swinging a helmet at Bengals players before falling to the ground at the end of the video.
The NFL doesn’t typically hand out suspensions for quarrels during practices, but the video evidence of this one could change their tune. With the Myles Garret helmet-swing incident back in 2019 still fresh in the minds of NFL fans, it will be worth keeping an eye on to see how the league chooses to handle this situation.
