Earl Thomas was forced to exit Baltimore Ravens training camp on Friday after getting in a fiery altercation with teammate Chuck Clark, according to ESPN's Jamison Hensley.

The argument was started by a missed assignment by Thomas, Hensley's sources said. The two yelled at each other on the sideline and had to be restrained by their teammates. Thomas even put up his fists at one point.

The 31-year-old confirmed the reports of the altercation and posted a video of the play that started the fight. Thomas acknowledged the mistakes he made and is looking forward to getting back on the practice field after missing camp on Saturday.

Thomas is no stranger to getting in arguments with his teammates. Last year, the 31-year-old got into an exchange with Brandon Williams after a game against the Cleveland Browns.

The seven-time Pro Bowler signed a four-year, $55 million deal with Baltimore in 2019. His lengthy Seahawks tenure ended with him giving the middle finger to head coach Pete Carroll and the Seattle sideline.
