Broncos quarterback Bo Nix was at the center of Denver’s most intense training camp practice yet on Tuesday, getting into an altercation with star linebacker Nik Bonitto. The friction started when Bonitto took Nix to the ground on a sack, and several plays later Nix pulled Bonitto off a pileup by the leg, prompting teammates to restrain the linebacker. Offensive lineman Calvin Throckmorton was looked at by trainers after being left bleeding in the scrum. Nix downplayed it afterward, telling reporters “I love it. It’s football,” and noting that intensity naturally spikes in the dog days of summer with the regular season approaching. (source: Bleacher Report, Larry Brown Sports, Heavy)
