AP reports that three separate fights broke out at the Jets' practice on Thursday. First, OT Jason Fabini and rookie DE Bryan Thomas began shoving each other after a play. Minutes later on a reverse play C Kevin Mawae leveled Thomas with a hit that left him lying on the ground. Moments later DE Shaun Ellis sent OT Chris Smith flying to the ground with a violent hit, sparking a fight of about 15 players.
Additionally, it was reported that one of the Jets' offensive linemen could be charged with assault in the third degree for assaulting a Long Island limo driver Monday night outside an East Norwich, NY, steakhouse.
