Bengals Involved in Skirmish on First Day of Training Camp Practice
On Wednesday, All-Pro wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase engaged in a heated exchange with cornerbacks DJ Turner II and Jalen Davis during 11-on-11 drills at Cincinnati Bengals training camp.
Coach Zac Taylor and the Bengals enter the 2026 season with high expectations, emphasizing urgency in the locker room to overcome three consecutive playoff misses.
Quarterback Joe Burrow downplayed the scuffle, saying "Brothers fight" while noting that intense competition helps teammates improve, provided they "punch somebody in the face in about 15-20 seconds and then get back lined up."
In a separate development, defensive end Shemar Stewart was carted off the practice field Wednesday after suffering a left leg injury, with the team providing no immediate update on severity.
Burrow is adapting to new offensive schemes, including increased work under center, as offensive coordinator Dan Pitcher aims to build a more explosive run game for the 2026 season.
