The Tampa Buccaneers and Tennessee Titans were having a nice little joint practice on Thursday when things suddenly took a violent turn, one that led to Antonio Brown reportedly being sent off the field for a little bit after he appeared to punch Titans CB Chris Jackson in the face.
This melee looked pretty crazy and somehow Brown was able to get Jackson’s helmet off and land what looks like a punch square in Jackson’s face.
I don’t want to jump to conclusions but you have to think the league might look into this and lay out some punishments.
Check out these photos from our friends at the Tennessean:
