Overview

• Multiple skirmishes broke out during Sunday’s practice in Flowery Branch, with rookie edge rusher James Pearce Jr. engaging in separate dust-ups against offensive linemen.
• Leonard Floyd intervened in both confrontations to separate players and support his defensive teammate.
• Defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich praised the team’s physicality but warned that some incidents ‘went a little too far’ and emphasized stopping before punches are thrown.
• Head coach Raheem Morris’s no-fight mandate was breached, triggering immediate feedback sessions to remind players of conduct guidelines.
• Since the coaching interventions, no further altercations have been reported and staff plan to closely monitor practices as camp continues.
