A day after five players were kicked out of the first joint practice between the Panthers and Patriots for fighting, two more incidents nearly brought an end to Wednesday’s practice session.
"But when you have a teammate who is hit, he’s down. There’s clearly symptoms of what has happened to him. We all know what they look like as football players. He’s demonstrating those symptoms and then you have players celebrating those acts, I take an issue with that."Carolina
running back Christian McCaffrey was hit hard near the sideline, got to his feet and spiked the ball in direction of a Patriots player. It led to another scrum that spilled into the front row of a spectator area, striking at least one female fan. It also resulted in ejections for New England defensive lineman Deatrich Wise Jr. and Carolina running back Chuba Hubbard.
"It gets a little chippy out here sometimes. That’s the way it goes," McCaffrey said. "It is what it is. A little scrum. It happens. Football’s football. "You go to these joint practices — it’s part of the game."History of the NFL and how it became the world's richest sports league The NFL was formed in 1920 when 10 football teams came together in Canton, Ohio, and started the American Professional Football Association , now known as the NFL."Obviously, we sent Kenny off the field. I didn’t see the hit, but I did see him standing over the player. That’s not how we want to practice," Rhule said. "Things happen in football. There were some good clean hits. But we don’t stand over somebody and taunt them. It can affect their livelihood. So we sent him off.
