Kyle Long laments his ‘unacceptable’ decision to attack teammate with helmet

Chicago Bears veteran guard Kyle Long was ejected from practice last week after he attacked teammate Jalen Dalton with a helmet. Long also threw punches in the heated incident. He ended up not making the trip with Chicago to New Jersey for its preseason game against the New York Giants, per the team’s wishes. On Tuesday, Long opened up about the incident, expressing regret over what he called an “unacceptable” course of action. “Obviously what I did was absolutely unacceptable,” Long said after Tuesday’s practice,” per Jeff Dickerson of ESPN. “As a human being, as a teammate, without question, what I did was uncalled for and absolutely so far over the line that it was on me to handle that internally and speak to the people that I needed to speak to. I’ve done that.” The incident with Dalton was not Long’s first time fighting with members of his own team during practice. Tuesday was Long’s first practice with the Bears since the incident, which shows just how seriously the ordeal was handled by team managemen
