Multiple Fights Were Observed At Jets OTA
In Florham Park, New Jersey, there was a sold-out audience for the first practice that was accessible to fans, which made for quite the spectacle.
Numerous on-field brawls were reported on Saturday, including one that occurred on the offensive line’s right side but was swiftly broken up. Some of the other instances, though, were documented on video.

According to The Athletic, the initial altercation occurred at 11:15 a.m. It happened on the offensive line’s right side, but it was over immediately.
