Fights Erupt at Packers-Seahawks Joint Practice as Zach Tom Is Ejected

Coaches cast the melee as typical joint-practice volatility with potential discipline still pending.

Overview

  • - Reporters counted roughly a dozen skirmishes over two hours, with several escalating into full-on fights, according to ESPN.
  • - Packers right tackle Zach Tom was ejected after trading punches with Seahawks defenders Ernest Jones IV and Devon Witherspoon, later saying he reacted to Seattle entering Green Bay’s huddle.
  • - Practice was not halted and final team periods finished, but players reconvened to jaw after the whistle as Seahawks DT Leonard Williams objected to Packers crossing onto Seattle’s sideline.
  • - Fan and media videos of the brawl spread widely on social platforms, with NFL host Kay Adams calling it the biggest camp fight she has seen.
  • - Seahawks DE Mike Morris left early with a head-related issue and was being evaluated as both teams pivot to Saturday’s preseason game at Lambeau Field with any league or team discipline unannounced.
