After lots of fighting and some football, the Patriots and Panthers will meet each other again on Friday in the second preseason game. Will cooler heads can prevail in this 7 p.m. matchup inside Gillette Stadium after eight players were ejected from two days of joint practices this week?
The Panthers and Patriots were clearly getting on each other's nerves. Tensions boiled over multiple times and resulted in receiver Kristian Wilkerson getting knocked unconscious by Panthers safety Kenny Robinson during a kickoff return drill on Wednesday. This happened after Robinson and Wilkerson fought on Tuesday.
