The teams were fined $200,000 each.
"All NFL clubs were reminded in a memo sent last month that fighting and unprofessional conduct at joint practices would not be tolerated," the NFL said Wednesday.
Two of the fights on Monday involved Lions star Amon-Ra St. Brown, safety Dane Belton and rookie cornerback Dru Phillips. Giants quarterback Daniel Jones got involved with an incident with his center Greg Van Roten down on the field, which saw a Lions player jump on top of him.

Lions defensive back Emmanuel Moseley was injured in one of those fights and is out indefinitely.
"Practice is a little bit different than a game," Giants head coach Brian Daboll said Tuesday, via the team’s website. "Obviously, you can't do that in a game. We're going to try to clean up some of the things that led to some of that, but we're going to play hard and play physical and have another good practice."
