NFL training camps are in full swing, which – like every year – means hot tempers and training camp fights. The Redskins are currently lapping the league in the fight department after two melee’s broke out in the course of three plays during yesterday’s drill’s.
The first involved offensive lineman Tyler Catalina and defensive lineman JoJo Wicker, who went at it after going at each other for one too many reps in the murderous summer heat. Catalina throws Wicker to the ground and ultimately gets laid out by nose tackle Tim Settle. Catalina was cut later in the afternoon, but it was reportedly not because of the fight. Ok sure.
FIRST FIGHT! JoJo Wicker gets under Tyler Catalina’s pads & drives him. Tyler snaps him down. JoJo gets up and pushes him & they exchange punches. Settle comes out of nowhere & floors Catalina. Holcomb/JHC try to help him up but Flanagan pushes them cause they play defense. pic.twitter.com/uLEgKXXQ7d

The second fight of the day came two plays later between tight end Jeremy Sprinkle and linebacker Montae Nicholson. If any of the games this year come down to fighting, Washington should be in good shape,
FIGHT! Jeremy Sprinkle is blocking Monte Nicholson on a run play. Nicholson tries to pull away but Sprinkle holds on. Nicholson gets mad and throws him to the ground. As they stand back up, Sprinkle double leg takedown on Nicholson #Redskins pic.twitter.com/xf9oNv00vp
