For the second day in a row, a scrum broke out at a joint practice between the Patriots and the Panthers.
It didn’t take long for tempers to flare on Wednesday.
On the first rep of the Panthers’ first-team offense against the Patriots’ first-team defense, Carolina running back Christian McCaffrey was tackled near the sideline. He then threw the ball at a New England defender, according to NFL Network’s Mike Giardi, prompting a full-scale melee to break out right in front of the bleachers where fans were sitting.
Players from both teams bunched up and began shoving one another, while video appeared to show that a few punches were thrown.
