Ding, ding.
In what may be the least surprising development of any joint practice in NFL history, squabbles and skirmishes were abound between the Carolina Panthers and New York Jets on Thursday morning.
The first fit of fisticuffs went down when Panthers wideout Terrace Marshall Jr. bested Jets cornerback D.J. Reed on a fade ball from quarterback Bryce Young. After the fourth-year receiver reeled in the pass for an impressive touchdown, he flipped the ball at Reed.
Reed, of course, didn’t take too kindly to the gesture. Things got heated, the teams convened and Reed proceeded to even fling the ball at Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard.

Then, a second scuffle would break out—this time, between Panthers running back Mike Boone and Jets defensive lineman Michael Clemons. Per Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer, Clemons took a swing on Boone and Boone would reciprocate with an attempt of his own . . .
Mike Boone ran and was held up by Michael Clemons for several seconds, Boone pushed him, Clemons swung at him and connected with the helmet, and Boone threw a punch of his way pen. Back and forth twice before teammates moshed each other. #Panthers

And if two fights weren’t enough, then how about a third . . . ?
Another fight between the Panthers offense and Jets defense. Based on my count, that’s 3 dust ups.
