These practices act like a controlled preseason game for teams and continue to become more and more popular around the league, but they can also get a bit chippy, as both sides found out today.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">\u201cThe one big dust-up at practice today was started by \u2026 Steelers punter Cam Johnston,\u201d Saunders posted on X. \u201cHe\u2019s a punter.
