Michael Pittman Jr. was once again involved in a fight in the training camp. A couple of days ago, the Indianapolis Colts star wide receiver was involved in an altercation with Jaylon Jones and had to be separated by teammates.
Today, another video of Pittman Jr. went viral. As per ML Football, the Colts wideout threw punches and was involved in a big scuffle. Colts insider Joel A. Erickson later confirmed that Pittman threw linebacker E.J. Speed into the ground, and the latter threw a punch after getting up.
Fights at training camp are not surprising, as every year we see teammates getting into it. Travis Kelce recently got into the face of George Karlaftis after Karlaftis had laid out Kadarius Toney after a play.

The incident with Pittman Jr. is not the first and will not be the last of this year's training camp. However, Colts head coach Shane Steichen must talk with his players regarding the fights to preserve the chemistry among the players on the team.
Michael Pittman Jr. and Colts season preview
Michael Pittman Jr. signed a three-year, $70 million contract extension with the Indianapolis Colts earlier this offseason. He is a huge part of the franchise and will be crucial in Anthony Richardson's development as the franchise quarterback.
The Colts had a good draft this year as they got the likes of Laiatu Latu, Adonai Mitchell, and Anthony Gould to further bolster their team. The AFC South franchise also drafted two offensive linemen Matt Goncalves and Tanor Bartolini, both of whom could become big pieces for the team.

Michael Pittman Jr. will be surrounded by promising receivers like Josh Downs, Adonai Mitchell, and Alec Pierce. He is also expected to improve and help the franchise make the playoffs. Last season, Pittman Jr. had 109 receptions for 1,152 yards and four touchdowns in 16 games.
