Titans' Teair Tart ejected from practice after throwing punch at Garrett Bradbury
What would a joint practice be without a skirmish or an ejection? So go the days of training camp in the NFL when teams get together to hone their crafts, and Thursday's joint efforts involving the Vikings and Titans in Minnesota was no exception.
Teair Tart, the 300-pound defensive tackle for the Titans, was ejected from practice for allegedly throwing a punch at Vikings center Garrett Bradbury.
Purple Insider's Matthew Coller described it as a "soft punch."
No tolerance for nonsense between these teams… Titans DT Teair Tart threw a pretty soft punch at a Viking and just got escorted out of practice

Reports of the incident from other beat reporters describe Bradbury and Tart going to ground on a run play, Tart getting up and throwing a punch at Bradbury.
Tart was in bother Wednesday as well, appearing to throw a punch during another confrontation with Bradbury that followed a hit from behind on Justin Jefferson.
