FOXBOROUGH, MA — Patriots and Panthers players were kicked out of joint practice in Foxborough after a brawl broke out for the second day in a row, according to beat reporters.
NFL Network's Mike Giardi said the scrap happened after the first rep of the Panthers' first-team offense against the Patriots' first-team defense.
As Giardi explains it, running back Christian McCaffrey was tackled hard near the sideline, and threw the football at a defender after the play, "and then all hell broke loose."
