In a Cincinnati Bengals preseason joint practice in 2022 with the Los Angeles Rams, there was a fight between the teams that saw Aaron Donald swinging his helmet at Bengals players.
The Week 3 Monday night game will be the first time the two teams meet since the practice, but Donald doesn’t think the issue will bleed into the matchup coming up, according to Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk.

Not trying to do anything dirty. I’m just here trying to do my job and win a game. That’s it.”
There were no consequences for Donald after the incident since the NFL doesn’t have jurisdiction over joint practices, but they will have a close eye on this game after that incident.
