Broncos’ Emmanuel Sanders, Courtland Sutton get into training camp brawl

Early during Monday’s training camp practice, Denver Broncos teammates Emmanuel Sanders and Courtland Sutton got into quite a heated brawl.

Things got so intense that their teammates had to step in and separate the two, per Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic.

Not surprisingly, veteran quarterback Joe Flacco went over to both players afterward to attempt smoothing things over.

Vic Fangio has already made it clear that he is not okay with training camp fights. Being that he’s dealing with a painful medical condition, he’s likely not going to have any patience for what transpired Monday between Sanders and Sutton.

Indeed, not long after the brawl, Fangio gathered the entire team at midfield.

After Emmanuel Sanders and Courtland Sutton had to be separated twice, Joe Flacco went and talked to each guy personally.

Emotions seemed to have cooled now but Vic Fangio just huddled up the entire team at midfield.
