There was reportedly a fight during LSU’s practice on Monday. The details of the fight are not clear, but among the players reported to be involved are [autotag]Malik Nabers[/autotag], [autotag]Kyren Lacy[/autotag], [autotag]Harold Perkins[/autotag], [autotag]Major Burns[/autotag] and [autotag]Denver Harris[/autotag].
According to Koki Riley of The Daily Advertiser, there were three separate scuffles. He noted that Perkins and Lacy appeared to start the first one.
Per Wilson Alexander of The Advocate, the fight involved punches thrown and players taken to the ground. Nabers and Lacy were sent to the locker room, while Perkins attempted to return to the 11-on-11 scrimmage but was pulled aside by coach [autotag]Brian Kelly[/autotag] and didn’t play another snap after that.
Perkins was about to come back into the 11 on 11 scrimmage after the fight.
But Brian Kelly pulled him aside and he didn’t take another rep through the rest of the 11 on 11 portion. #LSU https://t.co/dJZK7d9eKP

After the practice session, defensive end [autotag]Sai’Vion Jones[/autotag] told the media that Kelly’s frustrated message to the team following the fight was to “respect the brotherhood.”
Again, Brian Kelly was not happy. Wanted coaches to break it up sooner and talked to the players about leadership.
“We need to remember that we’ve always got to respect the brotherhood,” Sai’vion Jones said about Kelly’s message. https://t.co/Gb41JNTCcv
