For two teams that barely play one another, the Patriots and Panthers sure seem to have beef.<\/p>\n
It’s the second day of joint practices between the two teams and it didn’t take long for things to escalate into another day of fighting.<\/p>\n
According to multiple reporters, on the first play of 11-on-11 drills, Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey got tackled and apparently took exception to the hit. He fired the ball at a Patriots player and fighting ensued.<\/p>\n
Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard and Patriots defensive lineman Deathrich Wise were both ejected after the brawl.<\/p>\n
On the other field, reports vary as to whether Patriots returner Kristian Wilkerson went down from a non-contact injury or was laid out on a kickoff return by defensive back Kenny Robinson. Either way, Robinson stood over Wilkerson, which Patriots players took exception to and another fight began.<\/p>\n
Wilkerson was carted off the field. For the second straight day, Robinson was ejected from practice.<\/p>\n
Patriots head coach Bill Belichick and Panthers head coach Matt Rhule both met with their teams to try and get the session back on track.<\/p>\n
With so much fighting, longtime Patriots reporter Mike Reiss noted he’s never seen it get to this point in any joint practice in Belichick’s tenure<\/a> with New England.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
