Cowboys, Saints each fined for fighting during joint practice
The Cowboys were fined for fighting with the Saints
Woodland Hills, California - On August 11, 2026, the Dallas Cowboys and the New Orleans Saints were involved in a joint practice at Rams Village at Warner Center in Woodland Hills, California. However, the scrimmage quickly descended into a series of violent altercations between players from the two teams. The NFL announced on Thursday that both teams have been fined $500,000 each for the "actions" that transpired during the joint practice.
This marks a significant setback for the Cowboys, who have been emphasizing the importance of discipline throughout the season. Despite the lack of concrete evidence pointing to a single culprit, defensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer has criticized the Cowboys for lapses in discipline, and this incident underscores the need for improvement.
