NFL Warns Coaches After Dolphins-Bears Scuffle, Tyreek Hill Intervenes
9 Aug
Summary
- Dolphins and Bears held tense joint practice, multiple scuffles broke out
- Tyreek Hill carried teammate Dee Eskridge out of a scuffle, showing maturity
- NFL has made it clear it won't tolerate fights, coaches must ensure players avoid them
On August 4th, 2025, the Miami Dolphins and Chicago Bears held a joint practice that quickly turned heated, with multiple scuffles breaking out between the two teams. Dolphins offensive lineman James Daniels emphasized that head coach Mike McDaniel views fights as a "waste of time" and the team is focused on practicing, not fighting.
One of the more notable moments came from Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill, who showcased his growing maturity by calmly carrying teammate Dee Eskridge out of a scuffle, treating him "like a toddler." This display of leadership and composure stood out amidst the tensions.
The NFL has already made it clear that it will not tolerate any physical altercations during preseason games, as seen in the recent ejections of players from the Browns-Panthers matchup. Coaches McDaniel and Ben Johnson have been warned that they must ensure their players avoid such extracurricular incidents, as fighting not only looks bad but could also jeopardize the roster chances of players on the bubble.
