Long's father, Hall of Famer Howie Long, hinted on Tuesday that his 28-year old son's recovery from ankle surgery is going slower than expected.
"He's got to get it under control," Howie Long said on "The Rich Eisen Show."
"It's one of those things where you're coming back from injury and you're switching positions and maybe you're not where you want to be right now. He's getting his first live action since the surgery. I've seen it up close and personal in our own house."
Fox seemed to agree that Long's physical and mental state contributed to Monday's outbursts.
"There was some remorse there," Fox said. "He was embarrassed for himself and for the team. Those things happen. Our guys, we've got a bond and he's one of our family members and he'll be treated as such, like any kind of thing that happens in a family. Guys adapt and respond and I think everything's fine.
"I think any time a player's injured, they get something that they love taken away from them. It's been a minute, there's some pain and suffering that goes along with it and I'm sure those are things. But we have a lot of resources here, Kyle knows he's loved here, by his teammates and by everyone in the building. He'll get through it and we talked about that and I think he feels confident in that."

"This was not a typical fight, this was something much different than that."
The way Hoge/Jahns described it was very disturbing. He basically became unhinged. He was fighting his own O linemen, and guys just don't fight their own position group. He was fighting with the defense after every play. The entire scene was bizarre, and no one could turn away like a train wreck. People watched in shock as it all unfolded. Football wise, he was terrible out there. It seemed as if he wanted to get kicked out of practice. They think he was actually suspended, rather than the doctor excuse.
