Steelers Training Camp Takeaways: Massive fight breaks out, Russell Wilson still can't throw in team period

At the start of day six of Pittsburgh Steelers training camp, it seemed like it was going to be one of those dog days.

With a lot of veterans taking a rest day and the excitement of pads fading after yesterday's practice and the injury to Roman Wilson, it seemed like it would be a slow start.

And while that may have been true, it was an electric finish. Here's everything of note from day six of training camp in Latrobe.

Brawl Closes Out Practice

Per multiple reports, LB Elandon Roberts hit QB Justin Fields on a read option after C Nate Herbig and LB Patrick Queen had a scuffle the play before. Rookie guard Mason McCormick and rookie OT Troy Fautanu came at Roberts with a shove and a huge brawl ensued.

Now why a two-time Super Bowl champion who's gearing up for his ninth season in the league (Roberts) thought it was ok to break a cardinal sin in football practice and hit the QB is beyond me, but tensions were high, to say the least.

It was clear and in the mid-80s in Latrobe so heat can't be to blame, just knock it down to the dog days of training camp.
