The 11th day of Eagles training camp was defined by a fight between defensive tackle Moro Ojomo and offensive tackle Fred Johnson. The dust-up started during team drills Thursday when Ojomo took exception to a late shove by Johnson. Coaches kept both in for the next play, and tempers flared as Johnson blocked Ojomo to the ground and landed on him.

Punches were thrown before the two separated. Moments later, Ojomo dove at Johnson's knees, bringing the 6-foot-7, 326-pound Johnson to the ground.\n\nPlayers and staff jumped in. General manager Howie Roseman, coach Nick Sirianni, and chief security officer Dom Di Sandro gathered around an animated Johnson to calm him down.

Roseman also met with Ojomo before talking further with Johnson post-practice for about five minutes. Team drills were halted after the fight. The Eagles finished with a less competitive developmental period after a group huddle.\n\nThis was the last practice before the Eagles' preseason opener against the Baltimore Ravens.

Sirianni said before Thursday's session, "I'm just so excited to see all the guys compete. At the end of the day, this business is for people that are ultracompetitive. And it's always good to go against somebody else.".
