Panthers, Patriots fight again after cheap shot to Christian McCaffrey

The Carolina Panthers and New England Patriots got together on Wednesday for the second of their two joint practices on the week, and . . . Oh, excuse us. There’s been a slight change in programming here, folks.

It turns out the two teams actually got together on Wednesday for Round 3 of their summer slugfest. A day after a pair of scraps broke out at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, Mass., another heated scrum halted the latest session between the sides.

This time, it was another dustup between Panthers safety Kenny Robinson and Patriots wide receiver Kristian Wilkerson—specifically on a hit during a love kickoff drill—that got tensions rising. Then, an apparent cheap shot to star rusher Christian McCaffrey really set things off.

In addition to Deatrich Wise’s ejection, Robinson and Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard were also sent off the field. For Robinson, who may have been on the roster bubble, that was his second early exit from practice in as many days.
