Following a series of fights during a joint practice, the Dallas Cowboys and New Orleans Saints have each been fined $500,000 by the NFL. This decision comes after multiple altercations were reported, including a recent incident involving Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson and linebacker DeMarvion Overshown. The confrontation arose when Ferguson reacted to a tackle by throwing the ball at Overshown.
Reports indicated that the joint practice was highly physical, with over ten fights occurring, including shoving and punches. Notably, Cowboys edge rusher Donovan Ezeiruaku was ejected after throwing a punch, marking his second ejection of training camp. Head coach Brian Schottenheimer voiced his frustration regarding the fights, highlighting that they distracted from the essential practice work.
As the joint practices have concluded, the Cowboys are now shifting their focus to their preseason game against the Arizona Cardinals. No additional details about the team's strategy or player conditions have been disclosed.
