The Detroit Lions seem ready to hit someone in a different uniform.
Unfortunately for the Lions, it's still only July.
Lions head coach Dan Campbell had to shut down practice for the second consecutive day due to scuffles.
This time, it was superstar wideout Amon-Ra St. Brown getting into it with defensive star Brian Branch.
The Athletic's Colton Pouncy shared this information:
"Dan Campbell stopped practice today after several scuffles broke out in the early portion. Brian Branch and Amon-Ra St. Brown went at it multiple times. Second day in a row practice was stopped. On Tuesday, it was for tackling in shorts. Pads go on tomorrow. They’re ready."
Often, especially with teams with high expectations, this energy is just waiting to be harnessed for a common goal.
The Lions certainly have a single pursuit: Win the Super Bowl.
St. Brown and Branch will both be huge parts of that aspiration, and they know it. Back out on the field, they're clearly amped up and ready to shoot for the stars.
The intensity should certainly continue when pads get put on for Friday's practice.
