Overview
- The teams' joint practice in Florham Park produced several scuffles that escalated from one-on-one drills into bench-clearing melees.
- The incidents, which occurred Tuesday, centered on a confrontation between Buccaneers tackle Luke Goedeke and Jets rookie David Bailey and included Goedeke ripping off a helmet and throwing it roughly 20 yards.
- Other clashes involved A'Shawn Robinson and Armand Membou and a separate fight with rookie Darrell Jackson Jr., and coaches said they handled the situation internally without suspensions announced.
- Jets cornerback Qwan'tez Stiggers was taken from the sideline after appearing to pass out and was later described by coach Aaron Glenn as appearing to be in good condition.
- Buccaneers star Vita Vea was present but did not practice because of a contract dispute, the team said it has no trade plans, and both coaches confirmed most players are expected to play in Friday's preseason game.
