Giants and Dolphins practice erupts into brawl, players ejected over punches

During a joint practice in Miami, the New York Giants and Miami Dolphins saw a rapid descent into physical altercations, prompting coaches to intervene repeatedly. Dolphins right tackle Austin Jackson and Giants right tackle Jermaine Eluemunor were each ejected after throwing punches, with Jackson later returning for the final series. Giants backup quarterback Jameis Winston was also involved and was taken out for a few plays.

Harbaugh explained that the teams will apply game-like discipline to any player who throws a punch, citing a facemask hit as warranting a 15-yard penalty. Dolphins head coach Jeff Hafley echoed the stance, emphasizing that fighting is not a sign of toughness and that players who strike will be removed. The incident follows a similar fight in a recent Cowboys-Saints joint practice, raising questions about future league discipline.
