Green Bay and Seattle opened their two-hour practice in tense fashion, with roughly a dozen skirmishes and at least one ejection as tempers flared on the field. Jordan Love stayed mostly to individual drills and 7-on-7 while rehabbing his left thumb, watching the clash unfold around him. Zach Tom, the Packers’ right tackle, was booted after exchanging blows with Ernest Jones IV and Devon Witherspoon, signaling the high-energy, competitive atmosphere that usually accompanies joint practices.

Across the field, Seattle’s offense and Green Bay’s defense tussled during 11-on-11 and 7-on-7 periods, with a Packers defender even swinging at Anthony Bradford. Post-practice tensions persisted as players traded words. Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald offered a measured take, acknowledging the reality of fights in joint sessions, while Love emphasized staying clear of any scuffles given his thumb status. Sam Darnold offered a lighthearted, playful take on the chaos, underscoring the blend of competition and camaraderie that fuels these workouts and shapes early-season narratives for fantasy planning.
