IK Enemkpali Throws Punch at Cyrus Kouandjio During Buffalo Bills' Training Camp
It is a new year with a new team, but linebacker IK Enemkpali is still throwing punches at his teammates during training camp.ย
Per Matthew Fairburn of NewYorkUpstate.com, Enemkpali "took a swing at Cyrus Kouandjio" at the Buffalo Bills' practice Thursday before fellow offensive lineman Ryan Groy stepped in to make it a "two-on-one situation."
Enemkpali gained infamy while playing with the New York Jets in August last year, when heย brokeย quarterback Geno Smith's jaw with a punch in the locker room.ย
ESPN's Adam Schefter later reported on hisย Facebookย that a dispute over a $600 payment for a plane ticket started the incident. Smithย deniedย he owed Enemkpali any money, per Kimberley A. Martin ofย Newsday.
As a result of the incident, the Jets releasedย Enemkpali before the Bills thenย claimed him off waivers. It seemed like a natural fit since head coach Rex Ryan, whom the Bills hired in January 2015, worked for the Jets when they drafted Enemkpali out of Louisiana Tech in 2014.ย
The 25-year-old appeared in 11 games with the Bills last season, recording just nine solo tackles.ย
Physical altercations between teammates are not uncommon during preseason practices. On Aug. 8,ย Chris Emmaย of CBS Chicago reported Chicago Bearsย offensive lineman Ted Larsen andย linebacker Lamin Barrow were involved in an altercation.
However, because of what happened last year, Enemkpali is going to be viewed under a different microscope. He'll have to be careful. His talent and performance aren't so substantial that he can afford to keep making mistakes and remain on an NFL roster.
