Seahawks and Packers practice erupts into 50-man brawl with punches thrown between NFL rivals

Tempers flared between the Seahawks and Packers on Thursday as the NFC rivals took part in a massive brawl at their joint practice.

In video of the incident from practice, Green Bay offensive lineman Zach Tom could be seen landing a couple of punches on his opponents, as tight end Tucker Kraft got in the mix as well.

From there, benches cleared during what looked like a 50-man brawl as coaches scrambled to stop several groups of players from fighting.

Fans in the stands at Ray Nitschke Field were audibly stunned by the violence, which occurred as the two teams have been practicing against one another ahead of a preseason game this weekend.

Ultimately, the fighting died down enough for the practice to reportedly resume – but tensions continued to boil over afterwards

Green Bay’s Elgton Jenkins had to be restrained after practice, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

However, there were reportedly no apparent injuries from the initial fight.

Training camp fights are incredibly common, especially during joint practices between different teams, and Patriots coach Mike Vrabel actually broke up a fight himself earlier this month as his players brawled with the Commanders.

In that case, he emerged with a bloody cheek after getting involved in the violence.

The Seahawks and Packers have been practicing against one another this week ahead of their preseason finale on Saturday in Green Bay.

Seattle – following a big offseason in which they swapped out quarterback Geno Smith for Sam Darnold – will begin their regular season on September 7 against the 49ers.

The Packers will host their NFC North rival Lions that same afternoon as they kick off the season.
