Payton Labels Cowboys-Saints Practice as 'Tussle'

Cowboys coach Sean Payton described a Tuesday practice incident with the Saints as a ‘tussle’, saying there were no punches. He warned players that a new replay‑based ejection rule could see them removed for otherwise missed infractions.

During a Tuesday practice with the New Orleans Saints, Cowboys coach Sean Payton called the scuffle a “tussle” after reviewing film that showed no punches, only a shove. He highlighted the NFL’s new rule allowing officials to use replay to eject players for actions missed in the moment.

Payton stressed that the first person to get a jab is now more at risk, as the league can review and penalize any player involved. He urged players to avoid any contact that could trigger a replay review and subsequent ejection. orlando-books.blog
