It can\u2019t happen, shouldn\u2019t happen,\u201d coach Vic Fangio said. \u201cBut you\u2019ve got to be able to react to these things and handle them the right way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">That started with Fangio halting practice and gathering his team to admonish everyone to pick up the tempo after a slow start and to address the tussle between Sanders and Sutton.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Safety Kareem Jackson said Fangio \u201cjust made them kiss and make up. So, it was all right after that. I\u2019m sure they\u2019re fine.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Sanders and Sutton declined to comment as they walked off the field at different times and entered team headquarters through different doors.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cAt the end of the day, that\u2019s your brother, that\u2019s your teammate,\u201d linebacker Bradley Chubb said. \u201cYou\u2019re going to win games with him, you\u2019re going to lose games with him. So, we don\u2019t pay much attention to who fought who. It\u2019s how are we going to get over that?\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Sanders took Sutton under his wing even before he was drafted in the second round by the Broncos last season. The pair started together after Demaryius Thomas was traded to Houston last season, and Sutton took over as the No. 1 receiver for the final month after Sanders tore his right Achilles tendon in practice.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Sanders\u2019 comeback has been going well as he ratchets up his workload. He might miss the entire preseason, though, and make his debut in the season opener at Oakland next month.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Fangio said he wasn\u2019t too concerned that the bad blood would linger between the two receivers renowned for their competitive streaks.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cHopefully it\u2019s just a rare episode,\u201d Fangio said. \u201cIf it continues, then I think it\u2019s a problem.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u2014\u2014\u2014<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Follow Arnie Melendrez Stapleton on Twitter: <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/arniestapleton\" rel=\"nofollow\">http:\/\/twitter.com\/arniestapleton<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u2014\u2014\u2014<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">More AP NFL: <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/tag\/NFL\" rel=\"nofollow\">https:\/\/apnews.com\/tag\/NFL<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AP%E2%80%94NFL\" rel=\"nofollow\">https:\/\/twitter.com\/AP\u2014NFL<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.postindependent.com\/sports\/receivers-sanders-sutton-scuffle-at-broncos-practice\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: Post Independent<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton takes part in an NFL football training camp session Monday, Aug. 5, 2019, in Englewood, Colo.
