Bears offensive lineman Kyle Long had himself an interesting day at training camp on Wednesday. And by interesting, I mean that he took off a fellow player’s helmet and tried to beat him with it.
No, really, he did.
The three-time Pro Bowler was ejected from a mock scrimmage session after he got into a fight with rookie defensive lineman Jalen Dalton. Long apparently took exception to an earlier block by Dalton during an interception return. And frustrations boiled over when Long removed Dalton’s helmet and started hitting him with the helmet.
Training camp fights happen, but you never want to see a player use a helmet as a literal weapon.
He then threw the helmet — as if that wasn’t enough.
As Long was being removed from practice, he topped the whole altercation off by vomiting on the sideline. It was a sequence that had head coach Matt Nagy especially disappointed. He said via profootballweekly.com:
“It’s the competitive nature of the guys,” Matt Nagy said. “Yesterday to me was a little bit more of a pillow fight. Today I thought was a little bit, just like I said, it’s disappointing.”
Dalton did not appear to be hurt from the fight.
