The Miami Dolphins released a defensive lineman who was involved in an incident with running back Kenyon Drake during practice on Monday.
During a session, veteran defensive tackle Gabe Wright elbowed Drake, who was not wearing a helmet at the time. According to The Miami Herald, Wright’s actions were uncalled for.
Wright was a fourth-round selection in the 2015 NFL Draft by the Detroit Lions. Since then, he has also played for the Cleveland Browns and Philadelphia Eagles prior to signing with the Dolphins last year.
It is not uncommon for players to get into fights with teammates during training camp. The Jacksonville Jaguars recently suspended one of their defensive linemen for getting into with another member of the team during practice. The Dolphins opted to not keep Wright around.
