The Carolina Panthers-New England Patriots brawls on Tuesday and Wednesday led to plenty of drama with the Panthers. There is a chance that Kenny Robinson, who was ejected on both Tuesday and Wednesday for his actions during the brawls, could be cut from the team. But the situation recently grew even messier following Robinson's latest claim.
Robinson denied a taunting accusation during Wednesday's practice after a fan said he stood over a Patriots player.

However, the fan was not the only player to accuse Robinson of standing over the player. Panthers coach Matt Rhule revealed what he saw following Wednesday's practice.
“I didn’t really see the hit, but I did see him standing over the player,” Rhule said. “That’s not how we want to practice. Things happen in football. There were some good, clean hits, but we don’t stand over someone and taunt them.”

Matt Rhule also addressed the potential of cutting Robinson following the incident.
“Two days now that practice was affected by a guy,” Rule said “We’ll have to talk about it.”
Robinson's future is unclear at the moment. He's a talented safety but the Panthers can't afford to have any extra distractions ahead of the season. It should be noted that the Panthers-Patriots brawls were not all his fault. But his antics certainly did not help matters.
