Giants’ Sixth OTA Practice Cut Short by Teammate Brawl

High humidity combined with intense competition led coach Brian Daboll to halt drills early

Overview

  • Edge rusher Brian Burns and left tackle James Hudson initiated a pushing match before Kayvon Thibodeaux and offensive tackle Jermaine Eluemunor exchanged punches
  • Temperatures reached around 90 degrees with high humidity, a factor players said raised tempers late in the voluntary session
  • After the skirmishes unfolded across consecutive plays, Brian Daboll assembled the team and ended on-field activities prematurely
  • Burns characterized the clashes as a form of healthy competitiveness born from the sport’s physical demands and the day’s heat
  • Quarterback Russell Wilson affirmed that such flare-ups are routine during prolonged practices and posed no lasting concern
