A scuffle broke out during Wednesday's joint practice between the Cincinnati Bengals and Green Bay Packers.

Packers offensive lineman Elgton Jenkins was involved in two fights during the practice session. Jenkins appeared to spark the first fight after he blocked linebacker Germaine Pratt to the ground. Pratt seemed to take exception to Jenkins' action, and a melee ensued.

Two other Packers players, offensive lineman Jon Runyan Jr. and Romeo Doubs, also ended up on the ground, according to The Athletic.

Packers lineman David Bakhtiari admitted emotions were running high on the practice field.
