Giants pass rush dominates Dolphins as tempers flare throughout joint practice

Joint practice tempers between the Miami Dolphins and the New York Giants spilled over multiple times on Thursday at Miami Gardens, progressing from one-on-one drills to the final team period. Giants coach John Harbaugh described the environment as “violent,” adding that players need to protect others if someone crosses the line. The first separation came when Giants edge rusher Abdul Carter threw a punch at Dolphins tackle Patrick Paul during an offensive line-defensive line exchange. In 11-on-11 work, Dolphins right tackle Austin Jackson took a swipe at Kayvon Thibodeaux, and Thibodeaux answered with a shove that sent Jackson down. Miami and New York then scuffled again, with Jameis Winston repeatedly getting involved during attempts to split them.
