NEW YORK (AP) — The NFL has fined the Giants and Lions $200,000 each for multiple fights that broke out at joint practices between the teams this week.
“All NFL clubs were reminded in a memo sent last month that fighting and unprofessional conduct would not be tolerated at joint practices,” the league said in a statement Wednesday.
On Monday, there were at least four scrums after plays in which players ran into the altercation from all sides of the field and peace was eventually restored.
Two of those fights involved Lions All-Pro receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown, one with safety Dane Belton and the other with rookie cornerback Dru Phillips.
Giants quarterback Daniel Jones got into a fight with Greg Van Roten on the field and a Lions player on top of him.
Lions defensive back Emmanuel Moseley is out indefinitely after being injured in one of the fights.
On Tuesday, Giants rookie Malik Nabers got into an altercation with Lions safety Kerby Joseph.
The teams will play their first preseason game on Thursday night.
