Wednesday’s protest is just the latest example of Penning’s involvement, according to the network.
“Monday, Penning was rumored to have fought defensive ends Payton Turner (defensive end) and Taco Charlton (defensive end). Penning and J.T. had after-the-whistle scuffles on Tuesday. NBC reports that Gray was joined by Scott Patchan, defensive end.
In a speech to his team, Dennis Allen, Saints coach, allegedly said that his team didn’t have the time for this kind of nonsense.
“We don’t have time for that,” Allen said, according to ESPN. According to ESPN, “I sent two men in today. We have to do our job.” As a group, we have to be able to communicate and compete. We also need to know how to play.
“… This is not uncommon in training camps. This is something that we do not want. We’ll address it .”

Rookie Pennington was picked out of Northern Iowa with the Saints’ 19th overall pick.
Pennington is known for his combative personality. He has made excuses, saying that it is part of his game. ESPN said, “It’s how I am as player.”
