That forced head coach Jon Gruden to end the joint se sion for his Raiders early, sending his team to the buses. The Rams, meanwhile, finished practice, per reporters on the ground."I thought we had great work today until special teams, right at the end of the special teams period," Gruden said, via . "I have no idea what that was, but that's enough of that crap. That's not good for football, that's not good for anything, that's the end of that practice se sion."Gruden said there was no me sage to deliver to his team following the altercation, but reiterated that it was unacceptable."There's no me sage. They  David Perron Youth Jersey know. They know better," he said. "Everybody knows better. And again, it wasn't everybody fighting. It'll be on TV. You'll see a bunch of guys screaming and yelling. But it was two guys in a special teams period, and then it was a lot of trash-talking that escalated. It's just sickening, really. It's just stupidity. I' Kevin Fiala Youth Jersey m done with that.

That stuff's gonna happen, but that doesn't bother me as long as no one gets hurt."The Raiders and Rams will go head-to-head for their second preseason contest on Saturday with kickoff at 10 p.m. ET.    .
