DALLAS -- Veteran Dallas Cowboys running back Emmitt Smith and second-year receiver Reggie Swinton got into a fight during a huddle at practice on Friday.
Several players said Smith was upset at the mental mistakes taking place during practice and confronted Swinton with a hand-slap to his helmet, the team said on its Web site. Swinton then shoved back, and the two players were trading punches. Neither player was injured. Head coach Dave Campo briefly called the team together after the exchange and practice resumed without incident. Neither Smith nor Swinton commented on the fight after practice. Calls to the team by The Associated Press were not immediately returned. After Friday's practice, offensive coordinator Bruce Coslet called an offense-only meeting. He said he called the meeting to "get on the same page.'' Smith needs 234 yards to break Walter Payton's all-time rushing record of 16,726 yards. |
