Last month, the NFL sent a memo to teams warning them not to fight during joint practices.
The Lions and Giants didn’t listen — they were fined $200,000 each last week after their two days of joint practices were filled with fighting.
That left Patriots coach Jerod Mayo on Tuesday to issue this threat to his team before practicing against the Eagles: backups who fight will be benched for the next preseason game, which starters who fight will be forced to play the entirety of it.
