Bengals and Packers scuffle during joint practice ahead of their preseason opener on Friday night

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:55:15 GMT

CINCINNATI (AP) — Punches were thrown and players tossed to the ground during scuffles that interrupted a joint practice Wednesday between the Green Bay Packers and Cincinnati Bengals ahead of their preseason opener. Packers offensive lineman Elgton Jenkins was at the center of a couple of fights that briefly delayed the practice. Jenkins connected with a punch to the head of Bengals defensive tackle D.J. Reader and was walked off the field by a coach. The fracas didn’t escalate to the level of the helmet-swinging melee between the Bengals and Los Angeles Rams during a joint practice in Cincinnati last year. That one ended the session immediately.“Emotions get high,” Green Bay left tackle David Bakhtiari said. “I know (Jenkins will) never do it in the game. He’s never done that in the game. So, the practice, I mean, it’s a little bit different. You know you shouldn’t, but you also know there’s no consequences.”The Bengals and Packers play Friday night at Paycor Stadium.BURROW ...

Canha advanced on a ground out and, one out later, scored the winning run when Tovar short-hopped a throw to first on a ground ball off the bat of Monasterio.“A rare error by a young 22-year-old shortstop who’s really been magnificent,” Rockies manager Bud Black said. “Just goes to show you that players aren’t invincible.”Tovar has made just six errors in 107 games.“We caught a break there to get the last run across,” Brewers manager Craig Counsell said. Bryse Wilson (4-0) picked up the win despite allowing a run in th...
