There were a couple dustups during practice.
After a relatively uneventful joint practice against the Colts in terms of extracurricular activities last week, the Packers got into two separate incidents with the Seahawks during red zone.
Right tackle Zach Tom said the incident started when a Seattle player entered Green Bay's huddle. While Tom laments his role in the ensuing confrontation, he was proud of how the team stuck together.
"I saw Tucker, he got in there and Messiah (Swinson) got in there. It was pretty much the whole offense got in there," Tom said. "It's cool to know that everybody's got each other's back. Obviously, maybe it would be better if we found that out in different ways, but it is what it is."
To help cooler heads to prevail, rookie Anthony Belton stepped in for Tom at right tackle with the No. 1 offense for the rest of practice. Sean Rhyan later subbed in at center for Elgton Jenkins in two-minute.
With the regular season drawing near, the Packers still felt the practice was beneficial.
"Joint practice always has been productive because you're still getting good work," cornerback Keisean Nixon said. "The fights, it just is what it is, but you're still working. You're still going against other competition in like a physical setting that you're not gonna usually get versus your own teammates, especially during the season."
