Raiders Suspend Kirk Cousins, Maxx Crosby From Team Drills After Fight in Practice
Coach Klint Kubiak said the altercation involved two team leaders, and practice continued after teammates separated the players.
- On Friday, Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Kirk Cousins and defensive end Maxx Crosby engaged in a testy confrontation at the Intermountain Health Performance Center during a two-minute drill. Cousins grabbed Crosby's collar after the defender hit his arm, prompting teammates to separate them.
- Raiders coach Klint Kubiak downplayed the incident as expected training camp intensity, noting that both Cousins and Crosby are team leaders. He cautioned players to "be smart" and avoid fighting like they would in a real game to prevent penalties.

- Tensions flared elsewhere when guard Caleb Rogers and defensive tackle Jonah Laulu engaged in a separate scuffle in the trenches. Laulu responded to a grab with a short right hook before teammates separated both players.
- Elsewhere, kicker Matt Gay maintained consistency, making every field goal attempt including one from 50 yards. Wide receiver Jalen Nailor and defensive end Kwity Paye missed practice, limiting participation during the Friday session.
