Aug 7, 2024, 02:11 PM

The NFL has fined both the Detroit Lions and New York Giants organizations $200,000 each for multiple fights that occurred during their joint practices this week. This decision follows a memo sent by the NFL last month, reminding all teams that fighting and unprofessional conduct at joint practices would not be tolerated. The fines reflect the league's commitment to maintaining discipline and professionalism during training sessions, especially as nearly every team participates in joint practices this summer.
