The fight-filled joint practice last Thursday involving the Green Bay Packers and the Seattle Seahawks continues to be talked about, even after Saturday’s preseason matchup between the two teams at Lambeau Field.

Packers star right tackle Zach Tom was tossed off the field for his actions during the practice. He was apparently caught throwing punches at Seahawks linebacker Ernest Jones IV and cornerback Devon Witherspoon.

“It’s already disrespectful that they’re in our huddle,” Tom said on Thursday about what blew his fuse (h/t Brady Henderson of ESPN), “and then somebody gets hit while we’re in the huddle, got to have some pride, you know?”

Packers HC sounds off on removing Tom from practice

Packers head coach Matt LaFleur explained what happened following Green Bay’s 20-7 victory over the Seahawks on Saturday.

“That’s just our rule, if you throw a punch," LaFleur said, via Ryan Wood of USA Today. "He was not the only person at fault. He’s just the one I saw. Then you watch it (on film), and you’re like, ‘Oh, a lot of people should’ve been pulled.’”

The heated practice battles with the Seahawks are behind the Packers now as Tom and the rest of the team turn their focus to Week 1 of the regular season, when they will be locking horns with the Detroit Lions at Lambeau Field on Sept. 7.
