Terry McLaurin is liking Sam Howell’s deep ball

“[McLaurin] told me… there were a couple deep balls that I had to accelerate for. I had gotten so used to having to slow up and try to high point the ball.” — @Realrclark25 pic.twitter.com/MUPJ9RtN6R

There have been at least two fights at practice today.

Just before the St-Juste/McLaurin thing, Sam Cosmi body-slammed a defensive lineman (couldn’t see who) And earlier in practice, Nick Gates spiked the ball at Phil Mathis and Bieniemy got irate. https://t.co/QM4nNL86ss

Welcome to training camp.

Tempers are getting a bit heated. The physicality turned up a notch.

Commanders left guard Chris Paul said, “we move on. One snap and clear. The chippiness you saw today is done with. We’ll get back on our next day of practice and we’ll practice.” pic.twitter.com/CUYFLwyG8B

It was one of the most physical practices in all of training camp.

There was some “chippiness” during 11 on 11reps.

Efe Obada said, “you know what it’s like in camp. Iron sharpens iron. Every now and again it gets heated, but ultimately we’re a team.” pic.twitter.com/AsoJIIvya5

It was a spirited Washington Commanders practice.

Sam Cosmi got into it with Phidarian Mathis.

After practice Sam said, “we work hard, we do our stuff, but at the same time we are not going to take any crap from anyone.”

CB Emmanuel Forbes has an ice pack on his left thigh; happened in 7-7. On sidelines watching 11-11.

— John Keim (@john_keim) August 4, 2023

Emmanuel Forbes walked off the field without the icepack on his leg. Spoke to some of us …

On how he feels:
“I’m feeling good. I’m all right.”

On what he hurt:
“It was nothing. It was nothing.”

I thought this part of the interview was overlooked on mainstream, but I found it significant.

Josh Harris and his wife spoke to players and asked what changes they want to see in the organization.

Seemed like it was a good conversation and transcended football. #HTTC pic.twitter.com/H8rwTj6loS

Sources: NFL is suspending Saints RB Alvin Kamara 3 games for his role in a fight outside a Las Vegas nightclub in 2022. Kamara reached a plea agreement in July, and no longer is facing a felony charge for his role in the fight that occurred before the Pro Bowl in February 2022. pic.twitter.com/tmEYhB7NnS

Earlier Friday, Alvin Kamara told reporters: “I was completely wrong. I embarrassed the Saints, I embarrassed my family and my mother. I embarrassed myself, embarrassed the city, and the shield, obviously, embarrassed the NFL.”
