The NFL has reportedly sent a stern warning to teams about players involved in fights before or during games. Suspensions and/or a “significant fine” could be handed out. Also, any team with players or personnel involved in a fight could possibly forfeit a draft pick and/or be fined. The league’s football operations staff will be monitoring pre-game warmups to ensure that the rule where teams must stay inside their own 45-yard lines is enforced. “The game day policies are clear on this point,” the memo adds, per ESPN.
