A hard hit on a kickoff and a late hit on a handoff led to fighting for the second day in a row at the Patriots’ joint practice in Foxborough.
Three players, including Patriots defensive lineman Deatrich Wise, were ejected. Panthers defensive back Kenny Robinson and running back Chuba Hubbard were also thrown out.
It was the second ejection in as many days for Robinson.
While the fighting slowed practice down and prompted both teams to huddle up to cool off the tempers, the Patriots offense showed improvement and was able to produce a few highlight plays.
