Packers practice news and notes, 8/17: Fights steal the show vs Patriots

Thursday marked the final day of joint practices for the Green Bay Packers this summer, who previously had one practice with the New England Patriots and one practice with the Cincinnati Bengals during the preseason. This final practice, easily, was the chippiest of the bunch.

According to Packer Report’s Andy Herman, four fights broke out in a five-play span between the Packers and Patriots today. Per Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette, the total count of fights on Thursday was seven — leading to an ejection for a Patriots player and an early end to the joint special teams period.
