With NFL training camps and the NFL preseason well underway for all 32 teams in the league, tensions are rising for players as they are able to play in pads and are starting to get that itch to get physical to prepare for the upcoming regular season.
As usual, fights start to break out in training camps around this time of the year, with some players taking things a little too far, leading to emotions beginning to boil over on the football field during practice sessions and scrimmages.
That is exactly what happened on Wednesday during a Dallas Cowboys practice, with things escalating extremely quickly after a pass-rush attempt got a little too heated between two players and then turned into the defense and offense going at one another, as seen in this video from Cowboys writer Patrik Walker via B/R Gridiron.

Here are some fan reactions to things getting a little out of hand during Cowboys practice:
Love 63

Classic Cowboys

Yeah I would’ve done the same if I was 53, that would’ve been such a cheap Shot. You line up and run it again sort it on the field

I love it. They need to play with some fire in their belly.

Although some deem this behavior unnecessary, others believe this is a good sign of players being fired up and ready to take on all that comes with playing through an NFL regular season.
The Cowboys will be a team under the microscope in 2023, with some believing Dallas has the best defense in the NFL.
The expectations are high once again for America’s Team as Micah Parsons and company want to prove that they’re for real this year and ready to compete for a Super Bowl title in what is considered to be a weak NFC.
