Bo Nix, Nik Bonitto Involved in Heated Altercation at Broncos Training Camp

On Tuesday, tensions reportedly boiled over at Denver Broncos training camp between two of the team's most important players.

According to Zac Stevens of DNVR Sports, Broncos quarterback Bo Nix and edge rusher Nik Bonitto were involved in a heated altercation in which Bonitto had to be "held back by multiple teammates."

Stevens noted that amidst the brouhaha, Broncos offensive lineman Calvin Throckmorton was seen bleeding and was forced to leave the field. Nix and Bonitto reportedly were back on the field for the next set of team drills.

Parker Gabriel of the Denver Post reported that the altercation was the "most heated I've seen in the Sean Payton era."

The Broncos have one of the best defenses in the NFL, so it's not a surprise that Nix can get frustrated after facing a tough test in each practice. It's safe to say that Denver is looking forward to releasing some tension when it goes up against the Green Bay Packers in Friday's preseason game.
