Almost a week removed from a fight during practice Bears guard Kyle Long apologized for his actions calling the fight unacceptable. During last Wednesday's night practice Long got into it with rookie defensive lineman Jalen Dalton, swinging his helmet at him a few times before throwing it toward the sideline.

As part of his punishment coach Matt Nagy decided to not have Long come with on the trip to New York to take on the Giants.

Long told the media that it was a momentary lapse of judgment and he felt immediate regret after the fight ended.

“A momentary lapse of judgment,” Long said via the Chicago Tribune. “I cost myself a lot of personal equity. People don’t like to see stuff like that. It does not feel good to be the one that’s responsible for it. I’m trying to take ownership of it and move forward, and all I can do today is show up and be the man that I know that I am and stack those days together.”

Long wouldn't go into the exact details of what started the fight but said it's just football and he was a little frustrated and it all boiled over.

“Just football,” Long said. “We’re out here beating each other up. I was a little frustrated, and it boiled over and it was really unfortunate.”

Coach Nagy said that Long has already apologized to all of his teammates and the team is now moving past the incident.

This isn't the first fight that has happened during training camp and surely won't be the last so hopefully, there are no hard feelings because the Bears need Long to be a big part of the team's offensive line this upcoming season.
