Buy Bengals TicketsThe second day…not so much.
Early in practice, Bengals right tackle La’el Collins got into it twice with the Rams. Not long after, a full-blown skirmish broke out, to the point Zac Taylor and Sean McVay had to separate both teams.
According to The Athletic’s Paul Dehner Jr., it appeared Aaron Donald was right there in the mix swinging a helmet: “Huge fight now. Rams D-Bengals O going at it again. Appeared Aaron Donald had a Bengals helmet in his hand and was swinging it repeatedly.”

Bengals OL La’el Collins was engaged with a Rams player on a run play. The Rams player, whose number was hard to see, had Collins grabbed from behind and engaged a little too long.
Collins took exception, threw a few punches and all hell broke loose.
