Kirk Cousins Remains Starting QB for Raiders Despite Training Camp Struggles
The Las Vegas Raiders have confirmed that Kirk Cousins will remain their starting quarterback, despite a difficult practice session where he threw two interceptions in the red zone.
During training camp, Cousins faced challenges, including interceptions thrown to Jeremy Chinn and rookie cornerback Hezekiah Massis. This performance led to a brief altercation with teammate Maxx Crosby, who hit Cousins' arm during one of the plays. However, Cousins managed to recover and finish the practice on a stronger note.
Coaches noted that such struggles in training camp can be beneficial for player development, as they provide opportunities for learning and improvement. The competition between the offense and defense has been highlighted as a positive sign of growth within the team.
