An admitted 'cheap shot' by Jason Kelce sparked a brawl at the Eagles-Colts joint practice.
Kelce said that he did not meet up with Franklin following practice to address the situation because"probably tensions are a little bit too high for that right now."
"When you have joint practices against other organizations, sometimes your speed ain't their speed," said Franklin, a Philadelphia native."People get offended -- that's life. "Growing up in Philly, watching [Kelce] for a long time -- lot of respect for him. Talked to him a little bit after we played them last year. I thought the OGs would at least look me in the eye before [hitting me], but it's all good. I might get a chance to look him in the eye Thursday, so we're going to be OK."The joint practice grew chippy as it wore on.
