Today kicked off the start of the three-day joint practice session with the Philadelphia Eagles. Today's festivites were rather uneventful, but football happened, and that's fantastic news.

While none of the Beatdown staff were in attendance, we can certainly bring you all of the news from delegates of both the Baltimore and Philadelphia media that were present.

Reports From Bleeding Green Nation

our lovely sister blog

Per BaltimoreRavens.com's Garrett Downing, the altercation took place when Eagles LB Brandon Graham took down Ravens FB Kyle Juszczyk. This was a big deal because of the previously agreeed upon terms that the teams wouldn't tackle. Thankfully, the skirmish extinguished itself. The climax of the scuffle amounted to a few angry words from the mouth of Ravens receiver Steve Smith.

Notes From Baltimore Ravens Staff Writer, Garrett Downing

Well, that's a wrap for today's festivities. It was a productive, injury-free and for the most part, a fight-free practice. It seems that most everyone is a happy camper. Except maybe for Steve Smith, who just wants to get home to his wife it seems.





Once again, special mentions to both and Bleeding Green Nation and Garrett Downing , both of whom are fantastic at their respective jobs covering their teams. We'll be back tomorrow, providing you with all of the training camp news out there. Our apologies for not posting an observations thread today. We'll be watching a lot more closely tomorrow.

Until then, see you Ravens (and Eagles) faithful tomorrow!
