Kristian Wilkerson’s injury status after blow to head in wild Panthers-Patriots brawl

Maybe it’s the growing feeling of impatience waiting for the real season to come. Perhaps it’s just the competitive juices. But whatever the reason is, the New England Patriots and the Carolina Panthers can’t seem to stop fighting each other.

The Patriots and the Panthers had practiced together for two days now, and on the first one, Tuesday, the two sides went at it so hard that a brawl broke out. And on Wednesday, it appeared that the aggression was still out there for both teams, as they got at each other’s faces anew after a hit by Panthers safety Kenny Robinson on Patriots wide receiver/punt returner Kristian Wilkerson that resulted in the player being carted off the field.
