Packers' Jenkins tossed from joint practice with Bengals after multiple scuffles

Punches were thrown and players were tussling on the ground Wednesday during a joint practice between the Cincinnati Bengals and Green Bay Packers.

Packers left guard Elgton Jenkins was escorted from the field following two separate fights. He struck Bengals defensive tackle D.J. Reader in the second confrontation.

"Emotions get high," Green Bay offensive lineman David Bakhtiari said, according to USA Today's Ryan Wood. "I know (Jenkins will) never do it in the game. He's never done that in the game, but it's practice. It's a little bit different. You know you shouldn't, but you also know there's no consequence."

Reader described the fracas as a typical training camp fight.

"Guys in they feelings about whatever. Who knows? I have no idea. He might've had a bad day today," Reader said when asked about the incident, per Cincinnati Bengals Talk. "Seemed positive early in practice and then it turned real negative for him. He wanted to get kicked out. He just didn't want to practice. He'll be out there Friday. We'll see him."

Reader even shared his displeasure about the two-time Pro Bowl offensive lineman on Twitter, calling Jenkins an abbreviation for "just another guy."

When another Twitter user came to Jenkins' defense, Reader implied that the 27-year-old Jenkins had it easy in his first four years in league because he blocked in front of future Hall of Fame quarterback Aaron Rodgers.

Jenkins appeared to respond to Reader's criticism with his own tweet suggesting that he and the Packers will get the last laugh at the end of the week.

The Bengals will host the Packers on Friday in both teams' preseason opener.
