Training camp and preseason fights and shoving matches are nothing new in the NFL. They happen at some point in time during the summer with almost every team. Put two teams together for multiple days of joint practices, and it can elevate the hostility. That's exactly what happened on Thursday with Tampa Bay Buccaneers wideout Antonio Brown and Tennessee Titans cornerback Chris Jackson.

The Bucs and Titans are holding joint practices together and things escalated on Thursday. Brown and Jackson got in a verbal war of words with one another and then Jackson had his helmet ripped off as Brown connected with a left punch directly to the face.

The last of those four screenshots show the clean left that is landed by the Bucs' wide receiver.

Again, these aren't anything new in the NFL but when they involve prominent names like Antonio Brown, it will absolutely draw more attention.

Perhaps the most crazy note from all of this is that apparently the Bucs let Brown return to the practice field on Thursday. In most cases when fists are legitimately thrown, the involved parties are separated and told to pack it up for the day. Apparently that's not he case with Bruce Arians and the Buccaneers.

Tampa Bay is laser focused on trying to repeat as Super Bowl champions in 2021. Brown is expected to be a solid contributor for the Buccaneers offense again. They'll just need to make sure the practice field fights don't roll over into the regular season.
