Raiders quarterback Kirk Cousins and star pass rusher Maxx Crosby got into a scuffle late in Friday's practice before teammates quickly separated them. Offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak downplayed the incident, telling reporters, "That's training camp."
One eyewitness account provided additional detail on what sparked the confrontation. According to a report from practice, Crosby tipped a pass from Cousins in the backfield, prompting Cousins to get in his face. The exchange escalated into a shouting match with Cousins grabbing Crosby's collar. The account suggested the altercation may have had a positive effect on the quarterback, who threw some interceptions earlier but was described as "surgical" in a two-minute drill situation that followed.
