Things got heated during the joint practice between the Tennessee Titans and Minnesota Vikings on Thursday, which was the final session between the two teams ahead of their preseason Week 2 matchup.
Titans defensive lineman Teair Tart got into it with Vikings offensive lineman Garrett Bradbury, who wrestled Tart to the ground during a play, which led to Tart taking a swing at him.
Things did not escalate from there, but Tart was flagged for it and later kicked out of practice.
“I haven’t talked to him yet but he knows our standards,” Jeffery Simmons said of Tart’s ejection, per Jim Wyatt. “He knows we don’t do dumb [expletive] to hurt the team, as Vrabes says.
“That’s one of things I’m sure will get pointed out today in the team meetings. Other than that, we’ll talk to him and, like I said, he knows our expectations and standards with him.”
Looks like Titans DT Teair Tart just got tossed from practice for throwing a punch at Garrett Bradbury. Two went at it during full team drills, run play. Bradbury took him to ground, Tart got up and threw a punch. Flag.

After practice, Tart tweeted this out (we’ve provided a screen shot just in case it gets deleted, but the direct link is right here):
For those of you not hip on the lingo, it means “lame as [naughty F word].”
