Overview

• After a red-zone touchdown to Calvin Ridley, Cam Ward shoved Jeffery Simmons and performed his “Zombieland” celebration, drawing a two-hand push to the quarterback’s facemask as a brief scrum formed and Simmons’ helmet came off.
• Offensive linemen immediately converged to defend the quarterback, with left tackle Dan Moore Jr. stating, “Nobody touches our quarterback. Period.”
• Simmons was removed from the practice field, practice ended two plays later, and he was later escorted toward the locker room, according to local reporting.
• Head coach Brian Callahan capped the 96-degree session by making the entire team run sprints.
• The confrontation followed weeks of camp trash talk, including a prior snap where JC Latham sealed Simmons on a Julius Chestnut score; neither Ward nor Simmons addressed reporters afterward and no further discipline was announced.
