Three years in the past, the Browns’ Myles Garrett was suspended six video games after swinging Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph’s helmet throughout a recreation. That precedent could quickly turn into necessary, after video emerged from Thursday’s Rams and Bengals joint observe of Aaron Donald doing the identical factor.
In footage on Twitter that appears to have been recorded by followers (media are hardly ever allowed to take video at observe), Donald is proven swinging the helmet of a Bengals participant as a weapon throughout a observe battle. Although dustups are widespread throughout coaching camp, and significantly throughout joint practices, swinging a helmet is taking issues a bit far. Donald appeared to finish up with two helmets — one in every hand — amid the chaos, and was finally tackled to the bottom.
If the scenario does end in any self-discipline for which Donald misses time throughout the common season, it could be a significant blow to the Rams, who could be shedding their greatest defensive participant. Donald has not missed a recreation since 2017 and has by no means suffered a severe harm. He has made the All-Professional group for seven years working.
Donald has additionally recorded 11 or extra sacks for 5 straight seasons.
Maybe there was some dangerous blood left over from the Tremendous Bowl, wherein Donald’s Rams gained a carefully fought contest over Cincinnati. Nonetheless, this brawl was properly past what could be thought of the norm in a joint observe.
What repercussions come from it — if any — will turn into clear in time.
