It’s hot as hell out and football players are already sick of training camp … so, no surprise Giants star rookie Malik Nabers and Lions safety Kerby Joseph came to blows at practice on Tuesday!
A fan watching the joint NYG and Lions practice at the Quest Diagnostics Training Center in New Jersey recorded the altercation … and the fists were flying!

The footage shows 21-year-old Nabers — the 6th overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft — attempting to catch a pass that was broken up by DB Terrion Arnold.
Just moments later, things took a twist.
The Giants receiver started jogging back to the line of scrimmage when seemingly out of nowhere, he hit 23-year-old Joseph in the helmet.
The 205 lb. defender was pissed … going back at Nabers before the two wound up in an all-out fistfight.
Other players, including Giants cornerback Breon Borders and Lions’ Brian Branch, also got in on the action.
The melee comes a day after Giants and Lions players got into several scuffles during Monday’s practice … one even including quarterback Daniel Jones.

FYI, the Giants and Lions play a preseason game on Thursday … but won’t see each other in the regular season.
If the practices are any indication, that’s probably a good thing for the sake of everyone’s health!
