In a shocking turn of events, just two weeks into the New York Giants' organized team activities (OTAs), emotions ran high as a massive brawl erupted during practice!
As reporters looked on during Thursday's session, the chaos unfolded near the end when edge rusher Brian Burns clashed with newly-acquired offensive tackle James Hudson, who was stepping in for the injured Andrew Thomas. What started as a routine 11-on-11 play quickly spiraled into a confrontation that took everyone by surprise.
After Burns and Hudson were initially separated, tensions soared with edge rusher Kayvon Thibodeaux throwing punches at teammate Jermaine Eluemunor just moments later. The atmosphere grew even more electric as Hudson charged back onto the field to engage Thibodeaux, prompting Burns to join the fray and tackle Hudson to the ground.
What followed was a wild skirmish that involved nearly the entire team, culminating at the 50-yard line. Head Coach Brian Daboll intervened, promptly calling off practice, which had still had several periods left.
In the aftermath, the team gathered for a lengthy discussion, but it was clear that emotions were still running high, especially for Thibodeaux.
Burns later addressed the incident, stating, "It’s a violent sport we play. Guys are just trying to improve, and tensions can flare up. It’s not that serious; we’ve resolved it."
This dramatic scene adds a layer of tension for a Giants team looking to bounce back from a dismal 3-14 season, especially with the toughest schedule looming in 2025.
Mark your calendars: the next Giants OTAs practice open to reporters is set for June 12. Will the heat simmer down by then, or will we witness more fireworks?
