Washington and the Houston Texans are having a joint practice in Richmond, VA, today, and things are, uh, not going well.
The fighting, which was prompted by a late hit from Houston defensive tackle Vince Wilfork, continued to flare up throughout the practice.
It's total chaos between the @HoustonTexans & @Redskins at #trainingcamp practice. It was a fight on 4 straight plays. Everyone was brawling

But is there a way to spin the chaos to Washington's advantage???

Or was it all a plot to get out of practice early?
#Redskins WR Pierre Garçon told reporters after practice that the brawl with #Texans was a 'plan to end practice early' that 'went too far'

Seems reasonable: the battleships at The Black Sheep aren't going to eat themselves.
Alas, practice kept going — with the teams separated.
Teams have been split up and are now practicing against themselves as opposed to Washington versus Houston.
