Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Kirk Cousins and defensive end Maxx Crosby were suspended from team drills at practice Saturday following their fight the day before, giving rookie QB Fernando Mendoza his first opportunity in training camp to run the starting offense.
“We have very clear expectations about how we want to practice, how you go about our business,” head coach Klint Kubiak said in a statement. “We violated that yesterday, so we held those guys out. That’s all I’m going to say about it. We addressed it with the team and we’re moving on.”
Cousins and Crosby had to be separated by teammates after the fight. The 37-year-old quarterback 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.
While Las Vegas selected Mendoza, the 2025 Heisman Trophy winner, with the No. 1 pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, it also signed the soon-to-be-38-year-old Cousins, a four-time Pro Bowler, to a two-year, $12.6 million deal in April.
Meanwhile, Crosby, a five-time Pro Bowler, was set to join the Baltimore Ravens in March prior to the Ravens backing out of a trade after developing long-term concerns over the defensive end’s medicals.
The Raiders are coming off a 3-14 season and entering their first with Kubiak as head coach.
