The NFL has imposed a fine of $500,000 on both the Dallas Cowboys and New Orleans Saints following a series of altercations during their recent joint practice. This decision comes after multiple fights broke out on Tuesday, which included pushing, shoving, and punches being thrown. Notably, Cowboys edge rusher Donovan Ezeiruaku was ejected for throwing a punch, marking his second ejection of training camp.
In a separate incident, tight end Jake Ferguson and linebacker DeMarvion Overshown were involved in a scuffle during practice, reportedly initiated by Ferguson's reaction to a tackle. Fortunately, this confrontation was resolved quickly and did not escalate further. Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer expressed his frustration over the fights, indicating that they detracted from the team's practice objectives.
As the joint practices have concluded, the Cowboys are now focusing on their upcoming preseason game against the Arizona Cardinals. Details about the team's strategy or player conditions remain undisclosed.
