Large scuffle breaks out at 49ers-Broncos joint practices

After getting through one day of joint practices with the Denver Broncos without any big fights, the San Francisco 49ers weren't as lucky on day two.

During a Saturday practice in Denver, the Broncos offense and 49ers defense engaged in a scuffle after a tackle-for-a-loss from the 49ers defense, according to NBC Sports Bay Area's Jennifer Lee Chan. It took a full minute for coaches to intervene after both sidelines cleared.

Bay Area News Group's Can Inman said things escalated after 49ers safety Marcell Harris got taken down by a cheap shot, and The Athletic's Nicki Jhabvala said Broncos running back Phillip Lindsay was throwing punches.
