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.
