Raiders' Cousins and Crosby Miss Practice After Altercation

In Henderson, Nevada, Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Kirk Cousins and edge rusher Maxx Crosby were absent from practice on Saturday due to disciplinary measures. This decision was confirmed by head coach Klint Kubiak.

The absence followed an altercation during Friday's practice, where Cousins confronted Crosby over aggressive play. Kubiak stated that their behavior breached team regulations, warranting the disciplinary action.

Kubiak mentioned that the incident was addressed with the team, and they are now moving forward. Both players are expected to return for practice on Monday. In Cousins' absence, first-round draft pick Fernando Mendoza took first-team snaps, initially struggling but later achieving success with multiple touchdown passes during drills.
