A fight!
OK, so maybe it wasn't a fight, but the Detroit Lions came as close to having a training camp fight in practice Tuesday as they have in recent years.
The skirmish happened midway through a 30-minute team period on Day 2 of the Lions' joint practices with the New England Patriots when rookie defensive tackle P.J. Johnson took exception to a block by Patriots offensive lineman James Ferentz and some shoving ensued.
