Jets and Redskins brawl at joint practice in Richmond

BC-FBN-JETS-REDSKINS-JOINTPRACTICE:HK — sports (650 words)

RICHMOND, Va. — There was no shortage of intensity as the Jets and Redskins met for their first joint practice on Friday.

The trash talk was incessant. There was widespread pushing and shoving. And there were two brawls that broke out, with one of the fights briefly spilling into a spectator area.

Both incidents involved the Jets defense and the Redskins offense, who were practicing on a field near the vast majority of fans. No players or fans appeared to be hurt in the dustups.

In the end, a torrential downpour, not fighting, cut practice short by about 15 minutes.
