Green Bay Packers and Cincinnati Bengals had a joint-practice session where&nbsp;Packers left guard Elgton Jenkins got involved in two brawls. The first time, it was Jenkins who got shoved to the ground by Bengals linebacker Germaine Pratt during a run by Aaron Jones.&nbsp;This led to the Packers pulling&nbsp;Jenkins from the rest of that drill, however,&nbsp;in the next competitive period he returned and went after Bengals defensive tackle DJ Reader. He appeared to take a swing at him away from the play as well.

Jenkins paid the price for this and was escorted off the field by a staff member of the Packers.&nbsp;"Man, he's a jag, man," Reader said after the whole episode.

"I don't know that guy. No idea who he is. I mean, I see he made two Pro Bowls, so good for him, but he blocked for Aaron Rodgers. That don't make you nobody," he stated.

Packers left tackle David Bakhtiari opined, "I mean, it just takes away a little bit from practice, but Elgton totally was in the right the first time, I'm not going to say otherwise. "You've got to protect yourself. Emotions get high. I know he'll never do it in the game, he's never done that in the game. So, the practice, I mean, it's a little bit different. You know you shouldn't, but you also know there's no consequences."

Jordan Love, the quarterback, was the eye-witness to the entire first incident. Shedding light on the brawls, Love stated, "Man, I'm not sure how it started or whatever, but I tried to just stay away right there," Love said. "I think I was talking to one of their players and he was trying to hold me back, but I wasn't trying to get hurt."

NFL: Packers Elgton Jenkins receives send-off after brawls with Bengals during combined practice

The Indian Olympic Association (IOA) on Monday gave a rousing send-off to the Rio-bound contingent at an event in New Delhi. 
 
The show was attended by several dignitaries including IOA President Narayana Ramachandran, Secretary General Rajeev Mehta and Indian Sports Minister Vijay Goel. 
 
Goodwill ambassadors for Rio, Indian actor Salman Khan and musician AR Rahman, were also present. 
 
The event marked the unveiling of the official Olympics kit of Team India. 
 
Officials interacted with the Rio-bound athletes and wished them luck in their endeavour. 
 
&quot;The fact that 121 athletes have qualified for the Rio 2016 Olympics, nearly one-third more than what was qualified for the last Olympic Games, that itself is a clear indication that Indian athletes have started to perform and they will perform well,&quot; said Ramachandran. 
 
Also part of the send-off was Dipa Karmakar, the first Indian female gymnast to qualify for the Olympics in 52 years. She expressed hope of bagging a medal at the mega event. 
 
&quot;Preparations are going very well. Before the qualifiers, our preparation was strong and now my target is to replicate the performance which I have been doing and learnt here,&quot; said Karmakar. 
 
The Indian contingent for Rio is the country&#39;s biggest ever for any Olympic games. The previous highest was 83 that the country sent to the 2012 Olympics in London. 
 
The Summer Olympics this year will be held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, from August 5 to 21.
