The second day of New England Patriots joint practices with the Carolina Panthers looked a lot like the first, with tensions high once again. The tipping point came on a full-speed kick coverage play.
Patriots wide receiver Kristian Wilkerson remained on the ground after absorbing a hard hit from Panthers defensive back Kenny Robinson — two players who already were ejected the previous day for their involvement in a fight. While Robinson’s hit appeared to be clean, the actions that followed very much were not.
The defender stood over the obviously injured Wilkerson, taunting him or celebrating the hit.
