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.
