Tensions did not cool down overnight between the New York Giants and Detroit Lions — in fact, they might have only gotten hotter.
Several altercations broke out between the two teams during joint training camp practice on Monday, and Tuesday was no exception.
The Lions are in New Jersey ahead of the teams' preseason opener against one another at MetLife Stadium on Thursday, and they were practicing against one another Monday and Tuesday.

Daniel Jones found himself in one of the altercations on Monday, and Amon-Ra St. Brown in another. On Tuesday, it was Jones' star rookie receiver, Malik Nabers, who got down and dirty.
Nabers was unable to grab a one-on-one ball against Terrion Arnold, and as he went back into the huddle, he shoved his hand into the facemask of Kerby Joseph.
Joseph then ran back toward Nabers and fired off the first punch, but Nabers fought back, and the two exchanged several vicious blows — with helmets and guardian caps still on.
As just about everyone tried to separate the two, Devin Singletary and Brian Branch also found themselves squared up and throwing blows against one another, but that was quickly stopped.
Reports say practice ended early during kickoff drills, because altercations continued.
Nabers said Joseph said something to him, but did not say what he said.
It was a disappointing season for Big Blue, as they went 6-11 after surprisingly making the playoffs in 2022. However, as shown in "Hard Knocks," they are much improved on paper after acquiring Brian Burns, new offensive linemen, and drafting Malik Nabers with the sixth pick.
The Lions, meanwhile, were just a half away from their first ever Super Bowl appearance, but they choked away their 24-7 halftime lead that sent the San Francisco 49ers back to the big dance.
Nabers, the sixth overall pick out of LSU, has been the talk of training camp with his play-making ability, and he's set to get his first look at real game action on Thursday.
