The scuffle was sparked when Patriots defensive lineman Deatrich
Wise Jr. knocked down Panthers star running back Christian
McCaffrey, who was already out of bounds. McCaffrey spiked the
football at Wise's feet in response and the ensuing scrum
spilled into the stands.
ESPN reported that Wise fell onto a woman, who suffered a
swollen foot but refused treatment from the Patriots' medical
staff.
Wise and McCaffrey apologized to the woman and the Patriots
reportedly offered her tickets to a game this season.
Wise, 28, was also involved in a tussle at Tuesday's joint
practice session. He was ejected from that workout along with
Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard and cornerback Kenny
Robinson.
