During a Las Vegas Raiders practice on Friday, quarterback Kirk Cousins and star pass rusher Maxx Crosby engaged in a scuffle. The incident occurred late in practice after Crosby tipped Cousins' pass, leading to an incompletion. Cousins then charged Crosby, and teammates intervened to separate them. Cousins finished the drive on the field, while Crosby was sent to the sideline. Coach Klint Kubiak acknowledged that such altercations can happen during training camp between team leaders but stressed the need for players to remain smart, comparing it to game situations where fighting results in ejection. Tight end Michael Mayer commented that while punches are undesirable, some tussles are expected in padded practices, and he wants his quarterback to have a competitive edge.

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Kirk Cousins (8) throws a pass during practice at the team's NFL football training camp, Thursday, July 30, 2026, in Henderson, Nev. (AP Photo/Ian Maule) 2026-08-07T18:15:39Z Henderson, Nev. (AP) — Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Kirk Cousins and star pass rusher Maxx Crosby got into a scuffle late in practice Friday before their teammates quickly jumped in and separated them. Cousins, who is operating the first-team offense in training camp, remained on the field to finish the drive. Crosby, however, was sent to the sideline. “Those are two leaders of our team going at it, so that is part of camp,” coach Klint Kubiak said. “Obviously, if you fight in a game and throw a punch in game, then you’re out of the game. So we’ve got to be smart and treat it like a game.” Cousins appeared upset that Crosby tipped his pass, forcing an incompletion, and then charged the 6-foot-5, 256-pound defensive end who is three inches taller and 42 pounds heavier. “We don’t want to be throwing punches, but I think on any padded day of camp, there’s going to be some tussles,” tight end Michael Mayer said. “That’s our starting quarterback right now, and you want him to defend your team and you want him to have some edge to him, which he does. He’s always had since the first day I met him when he came in here. “I don’t want him getting thrown out. I don’t want him getting a flag. Nothing like that, but you’ve got to be able to defend yourself.” ___ AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/NFL 获取更多RSS: https://feedx.net https://feedx.site
