Brock Rechsteiner Involved In Massive Fight At Saints-Cowboys Joint Practice

The league did not give a reason for the ban, and Rechsteiner can still take part in preseason activities.

  • The NFL suspended New Orleans Saints undrafted rookie Brock Rechsteiner for the first six games on August 6 for violating the joint NFL-NFLPA policy on performance-enhancing substances.
  • During Tuesday's joint practice in Oxnard, California, Rechsteiner engaged in a heated altercation with the Dallas Cowboys, suplexing safety Jalen Thompson in a wrestling-style takedown.
  • The 23-year-old is the son of WWE Hall of Famer Scott Steiner. He stated, "I want to pursue football as long as I can, play as long as I can, but once I'm done, I'll get into wrestling, too."
  • Rechsteiner remains eligible for all preseason activities, including games, though the ban formally takes effect on Sunday, August 30, at 6 p.m. ET during final roster cutdown.
  • Professional wrestling remains central to the Steiner family legacy through Scott and nephew Bron Breakker, a former Intercontinental Champion. Rechsteiner's uncertain NFL future may accelerate his own wrestling path.
