RICHMOND, Va. (CBSNewYork) — Was it just boys being boys, or something else?
Sparks flew on the first day of joint practices involving the Jets and Washington Redskins on Sunday as the teams were involved in several altercations, including one vicious brawl.
The clubs are practicing together through Tuesday in advance of their preseason game on Thursday night in Landover, Md.

Skirmishes often break out between NFL teams when they practice together during the preseason, but maybe it was no coincidence that Sunday’s fisticuffs followed an incident late last month when the Redskins took verbal shots at their former teammate, Jets wide receiver Terrelle Pryor.
