Summary
Two days after the Saints and Cowboys were fined $500,000 each for a brawl-filled practice, New Orleans and Los Angeles got through Thursday’s joint session in Woodland Hills without any fights or after-the-whistle clashes.
Kellen Moore said he addressed Tuesday’s incident before practice, and the Saints responded with a clean workout ahead of Saturday’s preseason meeting at SoFi Stadium.
Just over 1 hour of work included 45 first-team plays and 25 second-team snaps before the teams dropped a two-minute drill, with Moore citing a heavy workload from two joint practices in three days.
Matthew Stafford and Davante Adams stood out against the Saints’ first-team defense, connecting repeatedly and capping one long pass with a touchdown, while Rams backup Ty Simpson threw two interceptions.
Sean McVay also said Aaron Donald plans more workouts before deciding whether to end his 2 1/2-year retirement, with the Rams coach expecting clarity soon.
