Seahawks players clash five times during practice. There is not only a bleeding nose and a missed helmet throw, but also positive words from the head coach in the end
After two intensive weeks of training, the Seattle Seahawks’ nerves are clearly on edge. There were several altercations on Wednesday. Coach Mike Macdonald had to interrupt the session and calm down his protégés.
It all started when cornerback Tre Brown and wide receiver Jake Bobo exchanged blows after a play in an 11-on-11. According to “ESPN”, the latter took off the 26-year-old’s helmet – Brown let himself be provoked and made the wideout’s nose bleed
Metcalf intervenes and hits teammate
While Bobo was still being treated, tight end Pharaoh Brown and linebacker Tyrel Dodson also caused a commotion, according to the report, before Brown “played” himself into focus again: This time, Seattle star DK Metcalf was also involved.
The wide receiver then grabbed Brown’s helmet, including the guardian cap, swung and hit safety K’Von Wallace with it. Macdonald then had to intervene
