An admitted 'cheap shot' by Jason Kelce sparked a brawl at the Eagles-Colts joint practice.
Kelce took ownership of his actions afterward, calling his hit on Franklin a "cheap shot."
"We try and keep things civil on the field, and I pride myself on being a guy that sustains the emotions and level of play out there, and I let my emotions get the better of me," Kelce said. "That certainly doesn't belong out there on the field, and a little ashamed that it got to that level." Kelce said that he did not meet up with Franklin following practice to address the situation because "probably tensions are a little bit too high for that right now."
"When you have joint practices against other organizations, sometimes your speed ain't their speed," said Franklin, a Philadelphia native. "People get offended -- that's life.for a long time -- lot of respect for him. Talked to him a little bit after we played them last year. I thought the OGs would at least look me in the eye before, but it's all good. I might get a chance to look him in the eye Thursday, so we're going to be OK.
