Inter-team fights are nearly an inevitability in NFL joint practices, but one between the Baltimore Ravens and Washington Commanders might have gone too far on Tuesday.
The Commanders announced Thursday that cornerback Danny Johnson is day-to-day with a rotator cuff strain, which is almost certainly related to the body slam he received from Ravens tight end Mark Andrews after the things got chippy on a play.
The video that captured the play doesn't have the best angle, but Johnson appeared to get some kind of hit in as Andrews tried to bring in a pass from Lamar Jackson. Johnson picked up the ball after the play, at which point the 6-foot-5, 256-pound Andrews picked up the 5-foot-9, 190-pound Johnson and slammed him to the ground.
A mass shoving match broke out, eventually dissipating as the coaches called their players back to the sideline.
