When the pads are finally put on for competitive practices during training camp, it’s to be expected for teammates to start doling out some trash talk against one another.

And on Thursday morning in Green Bay, players on both the Patriots and Packers had to separated on multiple occasions.
According to Nicole Yang of The Boston Globe, at least eight different scraps broke out during Thursday’s practice, with most of the vitriol traded between New England’s defensive unit and Green Bay’s offense.
