Seahawks' Frank Clark ejected from practice after punching Germain Ifedi
Seattle Seahawks defensive end Frank Clark was ejected from the team's training camp practice Thursday after punching teammate Germain Ifedi.
The scrum began when defensive tackle Rodney Coe tossed offensive guard Will Pericak into a water dispenser during a pass rushing drill, per multiple reporters on the scene. Clark punched Ifedi, who remained on the ground before walking off the field with trainers.
"There's no room for fighting in football," Carroll said in his post-practice news conference. "That's not part of this game, not supposed to be part of this game. We frown upon that very heavily, so we're real disappointed that happened today."
Carroll added that he did not know the extent of Ifedi's injury.
Michael Bennett said he thought his fellow defensive end should apologize to Ifedi.
“Scuffles happen in camp,” Bennett said. “We’ve built up so much testosterone all of camp, and we want to go out here and battle every single time. Sometimes we go a little overboard. I think you have to find that line. I think we may have crossed that line today. But we can talk about it and figure out where we stand upon that line again.”
A second-round pick out of Michigan in 2015, Clark finished second on the Seahawks with 10 sacks last year. Ifedi, the Texas A&M product who was Seattle's first-round pick in 2016, is set to assume the starting right tackle role after playing guard as a rookie.
