Jets, Redskins Involved in Massive Multiplayer Fight at Training Camp Practice

Tempers flared Sunday during a joint practice between the New York Jetsand Washington Redskins.

According to the Associated Press' Stephen Whyno, a Jets player made late contact on Washington right tackle Morgan Moses. From there, players from both teams got into a shoving match. At one point, the players were pushing toward the assembled fans on the sideline (note: Videos contain profanity):

USA Today's Mike Jones added that Washington left tackle Trent Williams was "throwing haymakers."

The skirmish may have come at a cost for Washington. Bleacher Report's Master Tesfatsion reported Moses was ushered off the practice field and was limping on his right leg. The 27-year-old underwent ankle surgery in January.

The Jets and Redskins will meet Thursday at FedEx Field in the second week of the preseason.

They should move practice to the MGM Grand.

There is no worse idea than two teams scrimmaging on Sunday and then playing on Thursday. I don't mind the scrimmage, but now we have two teams that hate each other going for revenge for cheap shots from days before.

Boys will be boys! Put them out there with no refs and no chance of fines and what do u think will happen?

At least Our starting quarterback didn't get his jaw broken this year

There were rumors that a fight would break out between these two teams centered around Terrelle Pryor who some Wash players dislike a lot. And think the HC game him a pass last year in training camp and Pryor took a pass the entire season. It looks like on the surface it didn't involve Pryor but there are players on the Redskins who reportedly can't wait to get a chance to even things out with him on the field. Pryor doesn't have a history of character as we saw during his Ohio State days.

Well with all the talking leading up to this scrimmage how was this not expected? Guys were running their mouths for some time so I don't find this surprising. Now it looks like it will continue into the game on Thursday. Look for the Refs to be calling it tight in that one.

I wonder who was the jets player who supposedly made "late contact"

[Larz]

Very predictable 

Probably even set up like when Rex did it on hard knocks

I posted this in todays practice thread. 

The NFL should ban these types of scrimmages.

Trumaine Johnson, allegedly.

I was on the hill right in front of the fight. It looked like a Jet defender got pushed first, nothing too bad, then someone cheap shot the redskin player from the back. I had a slightly different view of the fight. Looks like it starts on the right, with a Skins player hitting someone.

Well, that's better than some of our old CBs like Kyle Wilson who never made any contact with offensive players....even during games.
