A two-hour joint practice at the Packers' facility included roughly a dozen skirmishes and several full-on fights between Green Bay and Seattle players. Packers right tackle Zach Tom was ejected after exchanging punches with Seahawks linebacker Ernest Jones IV and cornerback Devon Witherspoon. Quarterback Jordan Love noted that both sidelines clearing makes it difficult to control and that such incidents will happen despite attempts to break them up. Tom said the altercation began when an opposing player entered Green Bay's huddle and hit a player, and he acknowledged he could have exercised better control.
I think when you get both sidelines clearing, it's tough,
Try your best to break it up and things like that, but it's gonna happen, man. I don't know. There's no answer for that.
It's already disrespectful that they're in our huddle, and then somebody gets hit while we're in the huddle, got to have some pride, you know?
I feel like, yeah, I can have better control - not throwing punches - but I don't know. It is what it is, you know? I can only control what I can control.
