A brawl broke out during the Dallas Cowboys’ practice session on Wednesday, and superstar linebacker Micah Parsons was involved in it.
Cowboys.com writer Patrik Walker tweeted a video of a scuffle that unfolded between Sam Williams and Brock Hoffman during a drill.
Soon after, ESPN’s Todd Archer shared a video of Parsons and Tyler Biadasz confronting Williams following a blindside hit. That led to a massive scrum that other Dallas players immediately had to break up:
Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News also shared a video of the chaos that unfolded:

Afterwards, Walker shared a video of head coach Mike McCarthy rallying the players with an expletive-filled message. Parsons added to McCarthy’s spiel by stating that Dallas will win the Super Bowl.
It is not at all rare for fights to happen during NFL practices, be it individual team sessions or joint practices. On Wednesday, Maxx Crosby of the Las Vegas Raiders and Cam Akers of the Los Angeles Rams got into a scuffle of their own.
Coaches and players almost always downplay any practice-related brawls, often citing that the men are fired up and locked in for the beginning of the season.
Coming off a second straight 12-win season, albeit one that ended with another early postseason exit, the Cowboys will begin the quest for Super Bowl No. 6 when they visit the New York Giants in Week 1 on Sept. 10.
