The Washington Commanders headed north to Owings Mills, Md., for the first of two days of practices with the Baltimore Ravens Tuesday.
The biggest highlight from Tuesday’s practice was the number of fights. Commanders rookie cornerback Emmanuel Forbes got into a scuffle with Ravens wide receiver Tylan Wallace and punches were thrown.
Shortly after, Ravens tight end Mark Andrews picked up Washington cornerback Danny Johnson and tossed him to the ground for no other reason than breaking up a pass intended for Andrews.
Commanders center Nick Gates was also involved in a minor altercation.
In the end, cooler heads prevailed as both coaches talked to their teams and explained to them the point of the practices was for everyone to get better; nothing was personal.
Here are some thoughts and observations from Tuesday’s practice.
