Emotions are running high in Oxnard at Dallas Cowboys training camp. Multiple scuffles have taken place between teammates as on-field intensity picks up. Another one occurred on Wednesday and head coach Brian Schottenheimer apparently had enough.

Schottenheimer kicked out rookie offensive lineman Ajani Cornelius from practice due to a skirmish. Tommy Yarrish of DallasCowboys.com captured a video of the coming together but not of the moment where Schottenheimer ejected one of his younger guys.
