Days after the New England Patriots and Carolina Panthers brawled on the practice field, the two teams meet Friday, August 19 in NFL preseason action. The game will be live streamed on Sling (first-month special) and fuboTV (free trial).
A day after a pair of fights resulted in five players being kicked out of the first joint practice between the Panthers and Patriots, two more incidents — including one in which a female fan was struck after a scrum spilled into the spectator area — nearly brought an end to Wednesday’s practice session.
The first dust-up occurred during a live kickoff return drill after Panthers safety Kenny Robinson — one of the players ejected in Tuesday’s tussles — laid a big hit on Patriots receiver Kristian Wilkerson and stood over him, taunting him.
