The New York Giants and the New York Jets' joint practice session on Wednesday morning took an unexpected turn. The two teams were training together ahead of their preseason clash on Saturday. Near the end of the practice session, a brawl erupted between the players.

In a video shared by Giants Nation Show's X(formerly Twitter) handle, both squads can be seen fighting. While some tried to calm the situation, most of the players, both standing and on the floor, were going at each other. Referees and coaching staff had to intervene to separate the two squads.

Apparently, the fight began with a tangle between Will McDonald IV and Greg Van Roten. The 2025 NFL draft's fifth-round pick, Marcus Mbow, also hopped in. Russell Wilson and Aaron Stinnie tried to get things under control while others stared down each other.

Jets QB Justin Fields on Giants rookie Abdul Carter

Abdul Carter is one of the most anticipated rookies entering the 2025 NFL season. The former Penn State Nittany Lions star is coming off a unanimous All-America, First-team All-Big Ten and Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year honor. He was drafted No. 3 by the Giants in this year's NFL draft.

Justin Fields was full of praise for the 21-year-old at the end of Tuesday's first joint practice session.

"I think they're [Giants' defense] really good. Abdul -- he's good, too. He can move around a lot. . . They're going to be really good up front," Fields said.

Carter did a brilliant job in his first outing in the NFL. He played only six snaps against the Bills but managed to generate three QB pressures on his three pass rushes.

He has signed a four-year, $45,255,180 rookie contract with the Giants. The youngster is expected to play a crucial role as the Giants hope to bounce back from a 3-14 season.
