Big scrap. Tyler Roemer’s helmet comes off and he takes a couple shots to the head. Don’t see that often. Sean McVay comes out to talk to his players and cool things down.

Not surprisingly, it was none other than Sean McVay and Jon Gruden who jumped into the fray to break up the mini-brawl.

And according to ESPN’s J.B. Long, McVay had to sprint from the other practice field to get there.

This was the second day of joint practices between these two teams, so it’s hardly surprising that they got into a couple of skirmishes.
