Bears TE Bennett mixes it up with teammates at Friday's practice

So much for Martellus Bennett's cheery attitude.


Just hours after describing himself as "always happy" on Friday, the Chicago Bears' newest offensive weapon found himself in the middle of a pile that looked more like a benches-clearing brawl than a training camp practice at Olivet Nazarene University.


Bennett was taken to the ground by cornerback Kelvin Hayden during 11-on-11 drills, and the two quickly became encircled by teammates as they wrestled before finally being separated.


"Everybody's aggressive. Everybody's a little tired. Everybody's a little sore," Bennett said. "Guys do something you don't like, and you just react."


It was the tight end's third run-in of the day, as the Bears held their first afternoon practice of camp after morning storms forced practice from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.


Earlier in practice, Bennett and safety Major Wright exchanged words after Bennett threw Wright to the ground during 1-on-1 drills between the tight ends and safeties.
