On Tuesday, the Green Bay Packers and New Orleans Saints met for a joint practice at Ray Nitschke Field, the first of two such practices between the teams ahead of their preseason game at Lambeau Field on Friday evening. Thankfully for both teams, there were few altercations during Tuesday’s practice session, which seemed to go off relatively smoothly.
Part of the lack of dustups between the squads was due to conscious decisions by the head coaches to avoid one-on-one drills. However, a lack of fighting does not mean a lack of competitiveness between the teams, as there was plenty of trash talk and jawing back and forth.
