per ESPN:

Also during practice, rookie defensive lineman Ra'Shede Hageman exited the field and did not return with what is believed to be a hairline fracture in his wrist, according to a league source. Hageman threw a punch at center Joe Hawley during pass rush drills and received medical attention immediately after the scuffle.

Smith was not happy with Hageman fighting.

"I think we're all talking about competing and fighting for jobs, but we're not talking about fighting each other," Smith said. "We've got to understand that. It's not what we're about. We're about competing and going out and trying to win a job. But we're not about fighting one another. That's something that happens when it gets hot. Today, it was hot, or hotter than what we've been used to practicing. But we've got to definitely get that fixed."

Go Gophers!!
 


That is too bad. I was really hoping he would have a healthy career. Hopefully he isn't out for too long. At least he is getting after it.
 

Hair line can apparently be 3-4 week recovery but he could still play through it immediately.
 

Hope he gets back soon and has a good healthy career. Also wondering if this will be on "Hard Knocks".
 


Per Orlando Ledbetter he will get a cast and plans to practice tomorrow.
 

Jesus. I'm picturing Shede with the big facemask and a club cast on his hand. Watch out.
 


Hard Knocks premiers on Tuesday and their first preseason game is on Friday. I'd expect a short segment or clip of the punch.
 









They are practicing against the Titans today

Got kicked out of practice today for starting up another fight. Maybe Ra’Shede had a reason for doing what he did. This is probably going to turn into another Nelson vs Kolstad thread.
 

Hagemans gotta learn to let things go a little if he is going to want to stick around and be healthy in the NFL. The Atlanta coaches are going to tire of this fighting shtick real quick and keep him on the sidelines.
NFL is a mans game, and you have to learn the mental and politics side of it too. What is better taking it out on a teamate who is cheap shotting or busting your chops or playing and collecting a paycheck. It is an animalistic, gladiator type environment so it is hard not to take offense to cheap shotting like cutting at the knees, but losing your cool and throwing punches is going to cost you a lot of money in fines in the NFL.

You realize the Center was kicked of today's practice against the Titans, not 'Shede.
 

Ra’Shede had a nice pass batted down but also got pancaked on Hark Knocks tonight.
