The Cincinnati Bengals began their training camp on Wednesday, and fuses were lit almost immediately.
All-Pro receiver Ja’Marr Chase found himself in the middle of quite the brouhaha during practice, launching a helmet in the process.
It’s not clear what started the ruckus between Chase and cornerbacks DJ Turner and Jalen Davis, but Chase “jawed with the entire defense,” according to WLWT.
The Athletic also reported that a punch was thrown, but it’s not known by who.
Davis later told reporters that the skirmish was nothing more than “just competing.”
“That’s all it is,” he said.
In fact, he even said he wanted there to be a fight “every day.”
“I always feel like the energy’s gotta be like that. It’s gotta be like that on both sides of the field,” Davis added.

Davis even squared up at Chase for a split second before cooler heads prevailed.
The Bengals defense hasn’t shown much fight in recent years, giving up the third-most points in the NFL last season and the seventh-most the year prior.
Chase was named a First-team All-Pro for the second time in as many years this past season, cementing himself as maybe the game’s best receiver. In his first five seasons, he has eclipsed 6,837 yards on 767 receptions and 54 touchdowns – an average of 113 catches, 1,490 yards and 11.8 scores per season.
Cincinnati went 6-11 last year and lost Joe Burrow to a severe case of turf toe.
