Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Kirk Cousins and defensive end Maxx Crosby have been suspended from team drills following a fight during Friday’s practice. The incident led to immediate disciplinary action by the coaching staff.
The suspensions were announced Saturday by Las Vegas Raiders Coach Klint Kubiak. According to reports, the fight occurred during a team drill at practice on Friday. Details of the altercation itself have not been released.
Kubiak stated that the team has addressed the issue internally and is now focused on moving forward. “We’ve addressed it,” Kubiak said, according to the Associated Press, “and we’re moving on.” The coach did not specify the length of the suspensions from team drills.
The impact of the suspensions falls particularly on the quarterback position, as rookie Fernando Mendoza will likely see increased repetitions in Cousins' absence during practice. Crosby is a key defensive player for the Raiders, and his temporary removal from drills could affect preparation for the upcoming season.
