Both players were booted from practice, according to Jeff Howe from the Boston Herald.

Fights at NFL training camps are relatively commonplace and though most coaches say they don't want their players scuffling (and potentially injuring each other), others admit they like to see that level of competitiveness.

Gilmore joined the Patriots as a high-priced free agent this offseason, so perhaps the team's incumbent receivers are doing their best to make Gilmore prove he's up to the task of playing for the Super Bowl champs.
