Bengals DT Insults Packers Elgton Jenkins

Elgton Jenkins, the Green Bay Packers’ starting offensive tackle, was allegedly forced to leave the team’s joint practice with the Cincinnati Bengals early. After practice, the claimed victim of the second incident, D.J. Reader, insulted Jenkins.

The Bengals and Packers practiced together on Wednesday ahead of their preseason matchup on Friday. During training camp, practices between teammates sometimes lead to fights. Fights are inevitable when teams train together. However, before the regular season begins, athletes must learn how to manage their emotions.

Last season, the Packers learned the hard way with linebacker Quay Walker. Last season, he was ejected from two games. On Wednesday, Enkins was involved in two fights. Germaine Pratt, a Bengals linebacker, started the first fight with Jenkins. Jenkins takes a swing at Bengals defensive lineman Reader in the second bout.

Jenkins was booted from practice, according to The Athletic’s Matt Schneidman. On Wednesday, Enkins was involved in two fights. Germaine Pratt, a Bengals linebacker, started the first fight with Jenkins. Jenkins takes a swing at Bengals defensive lineman Reader in the second practice.

“Yeah, but you know, that’s how it goes when guys don’t wanna practice,” Reader said sarcastically. “They don’t want to get better. And they’re frustrated and got hands put on them the first time, so they’re going to take it out on somebody else, and then you don’t really be accurate. You punch so light that your head don’t move. It’s tough.”
