The Detroit Lions and New York Giants had to interrupt another intense joint practice.
Giants QB Daniel Jones was in the middle of a mass brawl on Monday.
And their rookie first-round receiver, Malik Nabers, was involved yesterday, trading punches with Kerby Joseph.
New York running back Devin Singletary ran to support his teammate and appeared to throw a punch.
Gian’s defeated reporter Pat Leonard was at the camp and told his followers about the events.
“The lack of discipline from both teams at the end of the day, after both coaches said they wanted to see less, is shameful,” he said. posted in X.
“Basically had to cut the last period of practice short because of guys on both sides throwing punches, #Lions running to the #Giants sideline. Khalil Dorsey and Kayvon Thibodeaux trade blows at the end.”
Most fans were amazed to see so much passion from their team this week.
“I’m totally fine with that. I needed to see a little passion”, posted one.
“Pat, you’re the only person who finds this embarrassing. The Giants finally got some LFG canines,” another added.

“This is a victory for the giants. Last year there was no fight and we didn’t look competitive this year, they showed courage and intensity,” said a third.
“1 day well, 2 days is embarrassing for both teams,” commented a fourth, who agreed with Leonard’s opinion.
The teams face each other on the field in tomorrow’s pre-season opener, in what could be a tight contest.
Jones was only cleared to play football days before camp after his return to action from a torn ACL.
But he has not been taking it easy in trying to justify his mega-money contract.
Giants coach Brian Daboll was upset with Lions defensive lineman Levi Onwuzurike for hitting Jones’ arm during a throwing play.

Jones, like all quarterbacks in practice games, wore a red non-contact jersey.
In footage widely shared online, Jones appears to shove Lions forward Alim McNeill, sparking a complete melee.
“I appreciate [Daboll’s support],” Jones told reporters after practice, via ESPN.
“This is not something that normally happens in a practical situation.
“But it’s a competitive practice and the guys are trying hard.”
“Daniel was nervous about it. Was Daniel outside?” Giants edge rusher Brian Burns added after the chaotic scenes.
“Yeah. I’ll need him to back it up. Let your O-line handle it.”
“But Daniel, he’s a competitor, man. He is a fighter.
“So I don’t expect anything less from him. But I don’t need him in this. I don’t need him to get hit. Keep him healthy.”
