Baltimore Ravens and Indianapolis Colts get into joint practice brawl
OWINGS MILLS, MD — At first, the bodies tangle. Somebody throws a punch. Then what was a couple of individuals fighting turns into a sea of two jerseys coming together in the middle of an open field, a scene ripped from medieval warfare. Except this was 2025 Baltimore Ravens training camp, featuring the Indianapolis Colts in a joint practice Tuesday before the two teams face one another in their first preseason game on Thursday. For a moment, it was a literal slugfest. During a special teams period, with both sides going all-out, Baltimore's Keyon Martin and the Colts' Tyler Goodson started shoving each other after they'd ran down the field to cover and block a punt return, respectively. Martin pushed late, Goodson responded, and that was all Ravens second-year cornerback Nate Wiggins needed to see to insert himself, apparently. Wiggins darted off the sideline and began unleashing uppercuts to the facemask of Goodson. In a flash, both sidelines cleared, whistles blared and the futile effort to break up the fighting began. Eventually, everything calmed down. Practice continued. The specter of another skirmish did too. Nothing materialized despite the heightened tensions, however. Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said the message to his team after the fight would be the same it was going into the joint practice: play it like a game. "And we did, 99 percent of the time, but we didn't on that play," Harbaugh said. Video shooting wasn't permitted during most of Tuesday's practice including when the fight happened. Harbaugh, Colts head coach Shane Steichen and Colts general manager Chris Ballard all agreed afterward, according to Steichen, that these training-camp squabbles usually occur on special teams and almost always have the same culprit: the gunners, the players who run the length of the field on punts. "You can pretty much chalk it up, predict it, because it's one of those full-field, competitive drills," Harbaugh said. "But it should be a learning experience opportunity for our team, too. You don't have to throw a punch." Wiggins had to sit out the rest of practice and watched through a glass window in the Ravens' facility. At least his teammates were excited. "I heard Nate was slugging somebody or something," defensive lineman Nnamdi Madubuike said after practice. "But it was crazy. "I was far away." Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson knows that if a fight breaks out, the camera will find a way to be pointed at him. So he makes sure to keep his distance as well. "I'm chilling," the two-time MVP said, "... but I feel like our guys held their own." All the NFL news on and off the field. Sign up for USA TODAY's 4th and Monday newsletter.

Orioles to pay nearly $8.5 million as part of five deals ahead of the trade deadline
Baltimore will be sending nearly $8.5 million to four teams as part of five deals made ahead of the trade deadline. The Orioles will give San Diego $3,324,300 along with All-Star first baseman Ryan O'Hearn and outfielder Ramón Laureano, who were dealt last week for right-handers Tyson Neighbors and Tanner Smith, left-hander Boston Bateman, infielders Brandon Butterworth and Cobb Hightower and infielder/outfielder Victor Figueroa. O'Hearn was owed $2,537,634 of his $8 million salary and Laureano $1,268,817. Baltimore will pay two installments of $1,662,150 on Sept. 15 and 30, according to trade details obtained by The Associated Press. The money reduces San Diego's expense to $482,151, which comes to a prorated share of the $760,000 minimum for each. Baltimore will send Detroit $2,758,065 on Sept. 30 as part of the trade that sent right-hander Charlie Morton to the Tigers for minor league left-hander Micah Ashman. Morton was owed $4,758,064 of his $15 million salary, and the cash reduces his cost to the Tigers to $2 million. In addition, the Orioles will send the Tigers $100,000 on Aug. 15 as part of the trade to acquire left-hander Dietrich Enns. The Orioles also are sending Toronto $1.75 million on Sept. 30 as part of the July 29 trade that sent right-hander Seranthony Domínguez to the Blue Jays for minor league right-hander Juaron Watts-Brown — a deal announced between games of a doubleheader between the teams. Domínguez had $2,645,161 left from his $8 million salary at the time of the trade. Baltimore is giving Houston $520,000 along with infielder Ramón Urías, who was dealt for minor leaguer right-hander Twine Palmer. The money is due in equal payments on Sept. 15 and Oct. 15. Urías was owed $1,016,129 of his $3.15 million salary. Money in the five trades totals $8,452,365. Baltimore opened the season with a $169 million payroll, 15th among the 30 major league teams. Minnesota is paying $33 million to Houston in the July 31 trade that returned All-Star Carlos Correa to the Astros for minor league left-hander Matt Mikulski, by far the largest amount among 14 deadline trades involving cash transactions. That covered a significant portion of the $103,419,355 remaining in the contract of the three-time All-Star, who left the Astros to sign with the Twins ahead of the 2022 season. Houston gets $3 million this year and $10 million each in 2026, 2027 and 2028, with installments due each Dec. 15. Arizona will pay Milwaukee $5,258,000 as part of the July 31 trade that sent right-hander Shelby Miller and left-hander Jordan Montgomery to the Brewers for a player to be named or cash. Arizona will send the money in four installments of $1,314,500 on Aug. 15, Aug. 31, Sept. 15 and Sept. 30. Montgomery was owed $7,137,097 of his $22.5 million salary and Miller $317,204 of his $1 million salary. Milwaukee is sending San Diego $2,169,000 as part of the trade that sent left-hander Nestor Cortes and minor league infielder Jorge Quintana to the Padres for outfielder Brandon Lockridge. That offsets part of the $2,410,753 remaining from Cortes' $7.6 million salary. The Brewers will send $361,500 each on Aug. 15 and 29, Sept. 12 and 26 plus $723,000 on Oct. 10. Cincinnati is paying Pittsburgh $1,935,484 as part of the July 30 trade that sent left-hander Taylor Rogers and minor league shortstop Sammy Stafura to the Pirates for third baseman Ke'Bryan Hayes. The cash covers half the $3,870,968 Rogers was owed from his $12 million salary, and the Reds paid $435,484 on Aug. 1 and owe $500,000 each on Aug. 15, Sept. 1 and Sept. 15. Rogers was dealt the following day to the Cubs for outfielder Ivan Brethowr, and Pittsburgh agreed to give the Cubs $1,903,226. That offset half the $3,806,452 then left on Rogers' salary after the $64,516 he earned during his one day with Pittsburgh, for whom he never threw a pitch. The Pirates pay $423,226 on Aug . 15 and owe $500,000 installments on Aug. 31, Sept. 15 and Sept. 30. San Francisco will give Kansas City $1,934,100 as part of the trade that sent outfielder Mike Yastzemski to the Royals for right-hander Yunior Marte. Yastzemski was owed $2,934,140 of his $9.25 million salary, and the Giants will make four payments of $483,535 on Aug. 15. Aug. 31, Sept. 15 and Sept. 30. Tampa Bay is sending Milwaukee $1.1 million in the July 28 trade that sent catcher Danny Jansen to his hometown Brewers for minor league infielder Jadher Areinamo. Jansen was owed $2,833,333 of his $8.5 million salary. The Rays will make six payments of $183,333, on Aug. 1, 15 and 29, Sept. 12 and 26, and Oct. 10. Tampa Bay agreed to send an additional $500,000 if a $12 million mutual option for 2026 is declined, which carries a $500,000 buyout. St. Louis agreed to pay Atlanta $2.28 million as part of the July 27 trade that sent right-hander Erick Fedde to the Braves for a player to be named or cash. Fedde was owed $2,455,645 from his $7.25 million salary. The Cardinals will make equal payments of $1.14 million on Aug. 11 and Sept. 22. Detroit will pay Texas $100,000 on Aug. 15 as part of the trade to acquire right-hander Codi Heuer. ___ AP MLB:
