Monday's session at Carolina Panthers training camp was headlined by yet another summertime scuffle.
The fight apparently started with safeties Nick Scott and Lathan Ransom targeting running back Jonathon Brooks for a physical shot, which upset several offensive players—namely center Luke Fortner, backup tackle Stone Forsythe and starting quarterback Bryce Young. Veteran cornerback Mike Jackson came to the defense of Carolina's safeties and their aggressive instincts, and he got into some jawing with Young.
Afterwards, head coach Dave Canales claimed to have no problem with the fight, and that he wants to encourage his players to be physical . . . because, after all, it's football.
Defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero shares the same sentiment.
Here's what Evero had to say for his unit's part in the fracas, per Joe Person at The Athletic:
