The Carolina Panthers and New England Patriots will face each other in a preseason clash on Friday night. On Tuesday during a joint practice, five players were ejected from the session after multiple fights occurred between the two teams.

On Wednesday during day two of the joint practices, it was more of the same and then some.

A lot to sort out here …

Both teams huddling up separately. These joint practices are bordering on becoming non-productive. Teams can’t seem to find middle point.

Recap:

WR Kristian Wilkerson goes down on KO return. Differing views in media tent if it was a result of a hit, or non-contact … some Pats seemed to take exception of Panther standing over him.

Giardi further reported that Wise ended up landing on a woman in the front row of the stands, with the lineman's helmet hitting her in the foot, but she declined medical attention. The fan was also reportedly offered tickets to a future game after the incident.

Panthers head coach Matt Rhule addressed the brawl following the practice.
