It’s pretty safe to say that after last February’s Super Bowl, the Los Angeles Rams and Cincinnati Bengals are not exactly best friends. Yet, oddly enough the two teams held a joint practice in preparation of a preseason game this weekend, and things — well — escalated.
Rams Pro Bowl Defensive End Aaron Donald found himself in the middle of a social media blitz after he was involved in a melee that broke out between the two teams. On video posted virtually everywhere, Donald is seen swinging a pair of Bengals helmets at Bengals players.

According to a report from ESPN, Donald became involved in the incident when Bengals right tackle La’el Collins was engaged in a pushing and shoving match with an unidentified Rams player. Once Collins started swinging all hell broke loose with Donald becoming the center of the action.
The practice was quickly stopped.
