The New York Giants and Detroit Lions are engaging in joint practice, and Monday's training camp session has gone off the rails. Both teams have been involved in more than one fight, including Giants quarterback Daniel Jones getting involved.

Ari Meirov posted the first fight by way of SNYGiants. The ensuing chaos appears to show both the Giants and Lions teams going at it. Though there is a ton of shoving, and it's hard to tell if any punches were thrown.
The fight continues before coaches in the vicinity are able to separate players from both sides.

Shortly after the first fight unfolded, a second fight between both teams occurred, this time with Jones being in the thick of it.
Meirov posted the video of the second fight as well. At first, the camera recording the practice is focused on the play. When the ball carrier is tackled, players from both teams rush to where Jones is at.
Again, it's hard to see what transpired, but multiple players are being thrown down. It appears that Jones is right in the middle of the fight, and doing what he can do to throw players down.
This isn't the best look for either team especially for Jones. He is coming off a torn ACL and has only just been cleared for contact. Though a fight would not necessarily mean Jones would be in any kind of immediate danger, one small move could lead to his missing the 2024 season.

Training camp fights are a mainstay in the NFL, though it's something that a lot of coaches do not care for. In fact, Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin recently spoke to Kay Adams about these fights, and how they need to be weeded out of competitive spirit.
The Giants and Lions fighting might be viewed as a "part" of the game, but anything can go wrong as a result of these fights. Take former New York Jets quarterback Teddy Bridgewater, for instance.
Bridgewater got into an argument with fellow Jets teammate IK Enemkpali. The result of the argument was Bridgewater getting punched and receiving a broken jaw. He would miss the season for this.
The hope is that no player on either the Giants or Lions got hurt, and the videos are just heated interactions that were quelled immediately. For now, both teams will have to get back to business to prepare for the 2024 season.
