ALLEN PARK, Mich. -- Stefan Charles and Laken Tomlinson got into it during a rep in the offensive line versus defensive line individual drills for the Detroit Lions on Monday afternoon. Then, in the heat of a practice, they got into it a bit more.
Charles and Tomlinson stared each other down. Then, they started shoving each other and it appeared at least one punch was thrown before teammates on both the offensive and defensive line jumped in to break it up. It isn’t exactly what Jim Caldwell wants to see -- the fighting portion of it, at least -- but the intensity appears to be a good thing.
