Detroit Lions biggest takeaways from wild joint practice with Giants
The held their first of two joint training camp practices with the on Monday and the two teams might want to consider cancelling Elijah Wilkinson Jersey the second. Why? Well, these two teams might kill each other.Monday's se sion was loaded with fights that nearly totaled in the double-digits, according to one beat writer. We saw multiple players throw down, Giants head coach Brian Daball yelled at Lions defensive lineman Levi Onwuzurike, and Giants general manager Joe Schoen stepped in to break up one of the fights.It was a truly wild morning, and that might not even do it justice. Here's more on the fights, a few very notable Lions injuries and much more in our biggest takeaways from Monday based on beat writer observations.Lions takeaways from training campFights galoreAccording to , the practice saw at least eight fights break out. noted that he had "never seen anything like that" at a joint practice during his career.Here's video of two of the fights:Fight! defense and offense after am Amon-Ra St. brown catch Ryan Dunleavy (@rydunleavy) Busine s is picking up! Greg Van Roten got tangled up with a Lions DL, leading to a scrum. Daniel Jones was the first into the fray Dan Duggan (@DDuggan21) Also during the se sion, Giants coach Brian Daboll actually on Lions defensive lineman Levi Onwuzurike because he thought Onwuzurike got too close to quarterback Daniel Jones on one rep.While another skirmish took place later in Brayden Lenius Jersey practice, Giants general manager Joe Schoen even got involved in trying to break things up.Sidelines just cleared again! Even GM Joe Schoen out here breaking it up as fight erupts Charlotte Carroll (@charlottecrrll) Just a wild scene all around. And to think, these two teams have to take the field against one another again on Tuesday.Notable limited, non-participantsIt isn't clear what he's dealing with, but budding star tight end Sam LaPorta wasn't available to practice. It doesn't look serious, though. Branch's limited participation is likely just load management.Dan Campbell says no practice for Sam LaPorta today. No team stuff for Brian Branch. Both are fine long-term, Campbell says.

Zeitler is dealing with a shoulder i sue and Arnold is being evaluated for a concu sion.Arnold's injury came when he absorbed a ma sive block from Giants left tackle Andrew Thomas. The Alabama product somehow managed to stay on his feet following the hit, which earned him a in our eyes. Youll want the sound up for this. You can feel the hit Giants LT Andrew Thomas puts on Lions rookie CB Terrion Arnold.The kid stayed up, though. Ralph Vacchiano (@RalphVacchiano) The Lions shifted Graham Glasgow over to left guard after Zeitler exited with his injury and deployed Michael Niese at right guard, according to.Two WRs stand outCBS Sports' Emory Hunt noted that both Jameson Williams and Daurice Fountain stood out to him during Monday's se sion.My joint-practice observations O- Jameson Williams speed is smooth & una suming. Really surprises defenders- Daurice Fountain had a solid day catching the ball- Gibbs noticeably looks thicker in a good way- No Avery Williams Jersey Sam Laporta today, as noted pre practice by Dan Campbell Emory Hunt (@FBallGameplan) Morice Norris shinesMorice Norris continue to make plays. The udfa safety broke up a pa s, had a sack off a blitz and lit up a Giants back on a dump off that paused practice to make sure both sides kept their cool. Justin Rogers | Detroit Football Network (@Justin_Rogers) Eric Gray gets popped by Morice Norris. Helmet flies off. Kind of dirty in a practice setting. Jordan Raanan (@JordanRaanan) Trouble with Malik Nabers, deep balls in 7-on-7Just looking at my notes: Rookie WR Malik Nabers was targeted eight times at Monday's joint-practice against the Lions. He caught all eight pa ses (although it was debatable whether one was inbounds).The guy is a stud. Jordan Raanan (@JordanRaanan) Daniel Jones cooking in 7-on-7s. Hitting on deep balls to Jalen Hyatt and Darius Slayton. Malik Nabers also with a couple grabs. Jordan Raanan (@JordanRaanan) First-team reps for Ennis RakestrawAccording to , Rakestraw got first-team reps, both on the boundary and in the James Vaughters Jersey slot. He split work in the slot with Emmanuel Moseley and Amik Robertson.Kyle Peko in front of Brodric MartinBrodric Martin earlier in the offseason, but right now he appears to be behind in the pecking order to Kyle Peko, who is getting first-team reps over the sophomore defensive lineman, per Pouncy. Not a great sign for Martin.
