Pittsburgh Steelers see fight break out at 2nd padded practice of camp image

The Pittsburgh Steelers were back on the practice field for their second padded session of training camp and we had what might be our first fight.

According to beat writers on the ground, the fight broke out when linebacker Elandon Roberts hit quarterback Justin Fields to the ground on a read option during the final team period of the day.

The hit sparked a scrum and multiple players on both sides of the ball were involved, although it doesn't appear things went further than some shoving. Two players who were involved in the shoving were offensive linemen Mason McCormick and Troy Fautanu, per ESPN's Brooke Pryor.

Here's a photo of the scrum, per Alex Kozora of Steelers Depot:

Here's videos of the exchange:

Kozora added that things began getting heated before that play after linebacker Patrick Queen tackled running back Najee Harris.

Brian Batko of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette adds that cornerback Beanie Bishop was also in on the hit on Fields, which led to Fautanu shoving Roberts and the scrum ensuing.

Thankfully, it was all good in the end, as players were seen hugging and making up after the skirmish.

While we can't say for sure if this was the first fight of camp for the Steelers, we can say it was the first moderately big one. However, at least it looks like there were no punches, so this was certainly on the more tame side of the spectrum.
