GREEN BAY, WI (WSAU) – The Green Bay Packers are in Cincinnati today practicing with the Bengals, and things got testy between Elgton Jenkins and several Bengals players.
According to Matt Schneidman, the first fight was between Elgton Jenkins, Romeo Doubs, and Bengals LB Germaine Pratt. Schneidman stated that Pratt appeared to be the instigator, and multiple punches were thrown in the process.
Shortly after the first fight, Jenkins and Bengals defensive lineman D.J. Reader got into a fight away from the play, which resulted in Jenkins punching Reader in the helmet. Jenkins was then escorted out of practice by OL coach Luke Butkus.
There is no word yet if Jenkins will face any discipline for being involved in the fights.
Outside of the fights, the Packers offense has performed well today against the Bengals starting defense. The play of the day was Jordan Love throwing a 50-yard pass down the right sideline to Romeo Doubs who beat rookie DJ Turner for a touchdown.

ESPN’s Rob Demovsky reported that Love did have some struggles during a red zone drill, which resulted in him going for 4-8. Love threw an interception to Mike Hilton during the drill but had some success, which included a touchdown pass to Christian Watson.
