Summary
A late Sunday practice fight spilled to the sideline after Robert Spears-Jennings delivered a hard hit on Max Hurliman as the tight end crossed into the end zone during a red-zone team period.
Hurliman got up and grabbed Spears-Jennings after another tight end confronted him, turning the play into a wider scrum that also drew in DeShon Elliott and Jaheim Bell.
The flare-up came about 20 minutes after Elandon Roberts, back for his second day of camp, hit undrafted rookie receiver Levi Wentz and said afterward he was trying to "get his feet wet."
The second-to-last practice at St. Vincent had otherwise been expected to be quiet, but the scuffles underscored rising fatigue and intensity as players near the end of camp.
