The NFL has responded to joint practice brawls with a huge fine of the Cowboys and Saints but truth is this isn’t stoppi Via @ArmandoSalguero on X

What happened: At least six fights broke out during Tuesday's joint session in Oxnard involving the Dallas Cowboys and New Orleans Saints. Coaches considered ending practice early, but the teams completed the workout.

Why it matters: The penalties put financial consequences on clubs for conduct outside games. The league has made sportsmanship at joint practices a point of emphasis, increasing pressure for stronger enforcement if fights continue.

By the numbers: The two fines total $1 million after at least six fights were reported during the session.

What to watch: The clubs meet again Aug. 28 in their preseason finale.
