Carolina Panthers head coach Dave Canales addressed a heated scuffle during Monday's practice, calling for greater restraint while appreciating the team's physicality. The altercation began after a hit on running back Jonathon Brooks, who is recovering from an ACL injury. Quarterback Bryce Young reacted angrily, prompting offensive linemen to confront the defense. Canales said the team responded with more physicality after the fight but stressed the need to take care of each other. The Panthers reportedly spent 20 minutes talking through the incident before resuming practice. Brooks, a key addition to the offence, could be vital this season if he stays healthy.
