Vontaze Burfict is still a menace. During the Bengals practice today, Burfict ignited a brawl after going low on teammate Giovani Bernard, who was coming back from an ACL injury. Nobody on the team was happy with Burfict especially after he shoved the team’s running backs coach Kyle Casey after the play.
First play in contact for Giovani Bernard and Vontaze Burfict dives in right at his knees. As you can imagine a huge shoving match ensued.

After further review, it looks like Burfict pushes RB coach Kyle Caskey. I've watched it multiple times. https://t.co/ztxJuTs8DI

That hit to Bernard’s knees by Burfict might be the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen at a training camp practice.

Burfict has a long history of dirty plays, so it’s not a huge surprise that he would go low on his teammate in practice.
