Seahawks practice turned into a WWE audition Thursday as DK Metcalf missed teammate Tre Brown with a helmet swing, sparking a total of five fights ahead of their preseason game against the Chargers.

In an episode reminiscent of a reality TV show, the chaos at the Seahawks' practice saw DK Metcalf's helmet swing at Tre Brown mistakenly connecting with safety K'Von Wallace, all caught live on NFL Network. Head Coach Mike Macdonald, in his first year, had to pause the circus to calm escalating tensions born from too many scrimmages against the same faces. With a plethora of scuffles involving various players, Macdonald credited the players' weariness from repetitive internal competition but ended practice on a hopeful note after Metcalf's speech aimed at rallying the team. The Seahawks now face the daunting task of channeling this 'energy' into their upcoming preseason game against the Chargers.

It wasn't just the summer heat that had temperatures rising at the Seahawks' practice. The field erupted in chaos as DK Metcalf managed a swing that was more suited for a home run derby than a football practice. His intended target, Tre Brown, was spared only by the misfortune of safety K'Von Wallace becoming the inadvertent recipient of the helmet's misplaced wrath.

The drama, unfolding live on NFL Network, saw Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald pausing practice to speak with his players. 'It’s like these guys have been cooped up in a reality show house too long,' Macdonald considered, probably noting the players' frayed patience from the unending number of internal matchups.

Speaking of Tre Brown, he wasn't just a spectator in this helmet-wielding spectacle. Earlier, he had already been involved in a pushing match with wide receiver Jake Bobo, setting the tone for the day's unpredictable events. It appears practice had turned into a full-contact sport, and everyone wanted in on the action.

Linebacker Tyrel Dodson and tight end Pharaoh Brown decided they couldn’t let Tre Brown steal the shoving spotlight. Whether it was a tactical drill turned WWE match remains unclear, but the show of brute strength was unmistakably emotional, clearly more than just playful rivalry.

The unchecked chaos didn't stop there. Another scuffle saw linebacker Derick Hall and offensive lineman Christian Haynes receiving the boot from practice. Their engagement, less about plays and more about punches, left the coaching staff with no choice but to eject them, hoping it would serve as a cooling-off period.

Mike Macdonald, looking ever the optimist, found himself in the midst of his first true test as head coach. Having recently taken over from Pete Carroll, Macdonald described the scene as a matter of players who 'are tired of playing against each other.' An interesting euphemism, given the circumstances.

In an effort to turn the circus into a more motivational affair, DK Metcalf took the center stage again, this time verbally. Ending the practice on a more constructive note, Metcalf offered a speech aiming to unify the team and redirect their pent-up aggression towards their actual opponents – the Chargers.

The Seahawks' chaotic practice now concludes as they gear up to face the Chargers this Saturday, a game which offers them a chance to redirect today's raw and unfiltered energy into a more traditional form – like actually playing football. One can only hope the Chargers were taking notes, or at least watching on NFL Network!
