In the Carolina Panthers’ preseason opener against the Cleveland Browns, a heated exchange led to the ejection of wide receiver Xavier Legette and safety Rayshawn Jenkins in the first quarter. The confrontation began during a Panthers touchdown drive when Legette blocked Jenkins on a play that resulted in a loss for running back Chuba Hubbard. Following some shoving, Legette threw punches at Jenkins, who retaliated by removing Legette's helmet. The incident escalated until both players were sent to their locker rooms after offsetting fouls were called.
