Kirk Cousins and Maxx Crosby Involved in Practice Scuffle

During a practice on Friday, Raiders quarterback Kirk Cousins and edge rusher Maxx Crosby were involved in a scuffle. The incident occurred after Cousins became frustrated when Crosby tipped one of his passes, leading him to confront the larger defensive player.

Head coach Klint Kubiak commented on the altercation, emphasizing that such competitive interactions are part of training camp. He noted the importance of maintaining composure during practices, especially in light of potential penalties during games.

Cousins, who recently joined the Raiders after two seasons with the Atlanta Falcons, is competing for the starting quarterback position against Mendoza. Crosby, entering his eighth season, remains a key figure in the Raiders' defense.
