NFL preseason action is here with training camps and joint practices going down across the league. Unfortunately, those joint practices are not always going smoothly.
Over time, joint practices have increased in importance. With just 3 preseason games on the schedule, teams are taking the opportunity to create more live-action environments with the joint practices.
On Friday, a joint practice between the New York Jets and Atlanta Falcons featured another fight between teams. Emotions boiled over and led to a massive brawl between the two sides.

These joint practices can include a mix of veteran players and younger players fighting for roster spots in the regular season. With so much at stake in an already tense sport, it does not always take much to get things to a boiling point.
We’ll see what happens throughout the rest of training camp and if any more fights surface across the league.
