Just like in 2019 when a brawl broke out during a live game and Myles Garrett swung his helmet at opposing quarterback on the steelers and striking him with the helmet, Aaron Donald did the same thing in a joint practice with the Bengals, but with two helmets. The suspension Myles Garrett got when he swung the helmet at an opposing player and striking him was that Myles would be suspended indefinitely from the NFL during the 2019 season. Although the event with Aaron did not happen in a game, but during practice people think that he should face a suspension. The argument that keeps Aaron Donald from facing a suspension is that it did not happen during a live game and only happened in practice.

So should Aaron Donald face a suspension for swinging his helmet at opposing players during practice? My answer would be no because this outbreak did not happen during a game although these actions are not okay, it did not happen to where 70 million people saw it live on TV. I think from here on out to try to keep players thinking this is okay there needs to be a fine involved so the NFL does not need to decide whether to hand out suspensions or not.
