Eagles Players Brawl, Attempt To Seriously Injure Each Other As Big Dom Steps In & Coaches End Practice Early

This article was originally published on Total Pro Sports.

Two Eagles players turned a routine practice into a full scrap on Thursday. Defensive tackle Moro Ojomo and offensive tackle Fred Johnson needed separation twice.

The incident started during team drills. Johnson delivered a late shove after a play. Ojomo squared up and prepared to fight.

Coaches left both players in for the next snap. That decision quickly backfired.

Johnson blocked Ojomo to the ground on the following play. He landed on him with full body weight. The two traded punches before teammates intervened.

Ojomo refused to let it end there. He worked through a cluster of bodies and dove at Johnson’s knees. Staff and players pulled them apart again.

Coach Nick Sirianni, general manager Howie Roseman, and security chief Dom DiSandro helped calm Johnson, Pro Football Talk reported. Roseman also spoke with Ojomo afterward.

Practice ended early after the chaos. The team shifted to a lighter developmental period.

This marked the biggest fight of Eagles training camp so far. It came on the final practice before the preseason opener. The Eagles face the Ravens on Saturday night. Sirianni had praised competitiveness earlier that day. He said the business belongs to ultracompetitive people.

Ojomo enters his fourth season with the team. He showed strong production last year with six sacks. Johnson serves as a reliable backup tackle at 6-foot-7 and 326 pounds.

Camp fights often stay light. This one carried real risk of injury. The knee dive especially raised concerns among those watching.

“I’m just so excited to see all the guys compete. At the end of the day, this business is for people that are ultracompetitive,” Sirianni said before Thursday’s session. “And it’s always good to go against somebody else. Sometimes at this point of camp, you’re like, ‘Man, I just want to hit somebody else and go against somebody else.’”

The organization now hopes the pair channel that fire outward. Internal battles must stay controlled as the season approaches.

Both players remain key depth pieces for the roster. The incident serves as a reminder of how quickly tempers rise in August heat.
