Tensions have already flared between these teams this week, during a joint practice session on Monday in which Giants starting quarterback Daniel Jones got into a scrum between the two teams. Jones said he was just trying to “stand up for his guys.”
Elsewhere in the practice, Lions cornerback Terrion Arnold left early after taking a hard block from New York’s Andrew Thomas. DB Emmanuel Moseley also injured a pectoral muscle. It was later reported that Arnold cleared concussion protocol, but Moseley would be out indefinitely.
