Bills have been in town for a whole week, according to Mitch Morse, and the pads are still on. “When pads are worn, it gets more physical and men don’t sleep well. In camp, things like the exchange involving Josh Allen and Jordan Phillips will occur”, a syracuse.com Bills beat journalist responded to the altercation. Mitch Morse, a center for the Bills, informed Syracuse.com that people can experience extreme emotions.

“You need to get him out of that pile right away. It’s an emotional sport so emotions might run high. There are moments when tensions are high, but you never want them to last or escalate to the point where someone may get injured.”
Josh Allen, who will be playing for the Bills for the sixth season, amassed 4,407 yards and 36 touchdowns last season. He guided the group to their third consecutive trip to the playoffs. The Kansas City Chiefs eliminated them in the divisional stage. While Jordan Phillips spent the previous 2 years playing with the Arizona Cardinals, he eventually joined the Buffalo Bills. In nine games, he had 22 total tackles.
At the Bills’ Saturday practice, a skirmish broke out when starting quarterback Josh Allen was shoved after the siren, creating an odd scenario. Allen instantly swung around and shoved Phillips, setting off a heated exchange. Due to the altercation, the guys on the pitch began to cluster up and attempt to separate the two colleagues. However, two other guys entered the action from outside of it and attempted to climb on the pile, further escalating the already tense situation.
