The NFL fined the Giants and Lions $200,000 each for fighting during joint practices in August 2024. This follows a similar fine imposed in the previous year. The league increased penalties for the Saints and Cowboys, who were fined $500,000 each. Despite these fines, the NFL does not penalize players involved in the fights. The issue raises questions about the NFL's collective bargaining agreement and its approach to handling player conduct during practices.
