Seahawks practice descended into chaos on Wednesday as at least five brawls broke out and DK Metcalf launched a helmet at Tre Brown.
The wildest fracas, which showed Metcalf clashing with cornerback Brown, was caught on camera by NFL Network.
Though the star receiver initially backed off after the pair traded insults, Metcalf eventually removed Brown’s helmet and swung it toward the cornerback.
But it connected instead with safety K’von Wallace, who was trying to separate the pair.
The skirmish could be seen in the background while NFL Network was doing a live shot from Seattle’s headquarters.

‘We’re right on the line right now and I think the guys realize that. Like, hey, let’s take care of one another,’ head coach Mike Macdonald said after practice.
‘Definitely don’t want people fighting out here and stuff, especially against our own teammates.’
Brown also had a clash with wide receiver Jake Bobo earlier in the practice, while guard Christian Haynes and defensive end Derrick Hall got into it later.
There were a couple of other times where players had to be separated, with the feisty practice coming just a couple of days before Seattle’s preseason opener against the Chargers.

‘I think we’re tired of going against one another,’ Macdonald said ahead of Saturday’s game.
The coach gathered the team after the incident with Brown and Metcalf.
Macdonald didn’t speak to local media afterward but told NFL Network that Metcalf spoke to the team at the end of practice.
‘DK gave a great message at the end of practice just kind of put everything in perspective. The guys finished it out the right way,’ Macdonald said.
