Tempers flared between Cam Ward and Jeffery Simmons during Tennessee Titans practice on Monday, leading to a dustup between the two team leaders.

Training camp fights are not particularly rare, but it is not every year the No. 1 overall pick gets involved in a scuffle with his teammates. Yet that was the case Monday when Titans quarterback Cameron Ward picked a skirmish with defensive lineman Jeffery Simmons.

Tennessee Titans rookie QB Cam Ward defended his role in stirring up an altercation with Jeffery Simmons at practice, believing it was "what we needed" as a team.
