Eagles End Practice After Back-to-Back Fights Between Ojomo and Johnson

The episode reduced preparation time, prompting scrutiny of coaching control of late‑camp physicality.

Overview

  • Practice was stopped about ten minutes early after two consecutive altercations between defensive tackle Moro Ojomo and offensive tackle Fred Johnson during a padded session.
  • The conflict began after a running‑play rep, escalated when Johnson drove Ojomo to the ground on the next play, and ended with Ojomo diving at Johnson’s legs and punches being thrown.
  • Local reporters and on‑site social posts documented the skirmishes in real time and criticized head coach Nick Sirianni for not separating the players sooner, a choice that cost the team work reps.
  • The Eagles reported no public injuries or immediate discipline and described the incident as a camp flare‑up the team hopes will not affect preparation for the upcoming preseason game and joint practice.
  • Both players are established contributors—Ojomo coming off a career season and Johnson having started the final eight games last year—so the main short‑term effect is lost practice time and increased attention to how coaches manage late‑camp intensity.
