Friday Night Lights for the Pittsburgh Steelers has turned into Friday Night Fights at Latrobe Memorial Stadium.
During the backs on backers drill, running back Le’Veon Bell and linebacker Vince Williams got into a pretty nasty fight according to several reports on Twitter.
This very well may have been the first official fight of training camp.
Bell, who just resumed practicing Thursday after missing several practices with hamstring tightness, and Williams, the Steelers sixth-round draft pick last year, had to be separated by several players and coaches.
Bell was the first one to go in the drill and was reportedly beaten soundly twice by linebacker Lawrence Timmons.
Huge fight. Bell and Vince Williams. It was ugly. Blount jumps in and porter has to pull him off

Lawrence Timmons made Le'Veon Bell look bad twice in back on backer drill. They led off drill per Tomlin request.
