  "account": "The Cincinnati Bengals and Chicago Bears engaged in a joint practice on August 20, 2026, with Joe Burrow at the center of a small scuffle. According to sources on the scene, Burrow had an altercation with a Bears defender who refused to release his jersey following a play. Bengals teammates expressed discontent, but the incident was brief. Notably, Burrow and the Bengals starters were participating in this joint practice, which will not be replicated on Saturday when they face each other. Dayo Odeyingbo was part of the incident, holding onto Burrow without letting go. Burrow had six completions on six targets during the practice, including a red zone touchdown, albeit after intercepting a pass intended for Mike Gesicki. Dillon Thieneman had previously picked off Burrow.",
