Pads came back on Sunday for the Pittsburgh Steelers\u2019 penultimate training camp practice, and tempers that have been brewing all camp finally reached a boiling point. While there were minor scuffles earlier in camp, Robert Spears-Jennings sparked the biggest scrum of the summer at the end of today\u2019s practice.<\/p>\n
\u201cBiggest fight of camp to near end of practice Robert Spears-Jennings knocked down Max Hurleman along sideline.

The entire team raced over to get involved for the first time all camp.<\/p>\n Absolutely huge brawl at the end of Steelers practice in a red zone drill. It started when S Robert Jennings-Spears hammered WR Max Helerman at the goal line.<\/p>\n It ended with TE Jaheim Bell unloading punches on S DeShon Elliott.<\/p>\n Full team involved (and nearly the media, too) pic.twitter.com\/5rwS6sL2XK<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Ralph Vacchiano (@RalphVacchiano) August 16, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Mike McCarthy banned tackling, instead going with a thud tempo to preserve team health in Latrobe. That resulted in a noticeably lower level of intensity throughout camp. But when somebody breaks the rules and sends another player to the ground, tempers are bound to flare. That\u2019s exactly what happened here between Spears-Jennings and Hurleman.<\/p>\n Maybe all the team needed to spice up practice was Elandon Roberts\u2019 presense. Remember back to 2024, and he was one of the triggers for camp\u2019s biggest fight after he took Justin Fields to the ground during an 11-on-11 period. Roberts wasn\u2019t directly involved in this fight, but he helped set the tone and raise the intensity level at Sunday\u2019s practice with both his words and his hard hitting.<\/p>\n Elandon Roberts with a hard thud on RB Travis Homer on check down catch.
