Aaron Donald interview gets awkward as PR rep intervenes following question about helmet swinging incident

Aaron Donald was caught on camera during a recent Bengals-Rams joint practice swinging a helmet at Cincinnati players during a scuffle.
Naturally, that video drew a ton of reaction on social media and discussion among football analysts. Some wondered if a major suspension was coming for the star defensive lineman.
But, so far, no punishments have materialized, and it doesn’t seem Donald’s PR team is eager to discuss the incident. During an interview with Zach Gelb on CBS Sports Radio, a PR person interrupted Gelb while he was asking about the helmet incident:
Interesting exchange with Aaron Donald about the helmet incident last week. @CBSSportsRadio

Gelb then asked one more question about what sparked the scuffle, but Donald ignored it and went on to discuss his partnership with Dr Teal’s.
Just an awkward interview all-around.
