However, the aspect of control remains an issue for the Los Angeles Rams. Sportswriter Jon Machota shared on X that &#8220;the Rams are not pleased with Cowboys DT Albert Huggins for knocking down one of their staff members.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>A video from a joint practice between the two teams shows Huggins, dressed in white, breaking through several Rams players in blue before colliding with a staff member who was observing. He forcefully pushes this staffer to the ground and rolls away from the impact as Rams players approach him. Although obscured by other players, it seems that Huggins gestures rudely at them in response to their displeasure over his actions. While tensions rise momentarily, cooler heads prevail; after speaking briefly with Cowboys personnel, he is seen leaving practice.<\/p>\n<p>Journalist Nick Harris reported on X that &#8220;Huggins was instructed by coaching staff to end his day after this incident.&#8221; According to CBS Sports, Huggins joined Dallas on August 7 and the individual he knocked down was an intern filling in for a quarterback during drills. Following the incident, Rams coach Sean McVay checked on the intern before allowing practices to resume.<\/p>\n<p>David Hookstead from Outkick criticized Huggins&#8217; behavior as &#8220;clownish,&#8221; stating there\u2019s no other way to describe it. He noted that \u201cthe staffer appears to be in his early 20s and likely weighs around 170 pounds soaking wet,\u201d emphasizing how inappropriate it was for an NFL player in pads to hit someone who wasn\u2019t part of the drill. Hookstead concluded that such actions do not portray toughness but rather reflect cowardice when attacking someone defenseless<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2325061,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/huggins.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[7604,38226,7215,7191,34619],"class_list":["post-2325060","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-cowboys","tag-joint-practice","tag-nfl","tag-rams","tag-sports-news"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/huggins.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2325060","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2325060"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2325060\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2325061"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2325060"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2325060"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2325060"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
