Raiders Coach Reacts to Heated Kirk Cousins-Maxx Crosby Exchange
Things got heated between Kirk Cousins and Maxx Crosby at Raiders practice. Here's what coach Klint Kubiak said about the scuffle.
During Friday's practice, Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Kirk Cousins and star edge rusher Maxx Crosby engaged in a heated exchange after Crosby reportedly tipped one of Cousins' passes in the backfield, resulting in an incomplete pass. Cousins confronted Crosby, grabbing him by the jersey, and the two players exchanged words before being separated by teammates.
Despite the altercation, Cousins continued to practice and completed four consecutive passes afterward. Head coach Klint Kubiak downplayed the incident, stating that such confrontations are part of training camp and that it's important for players to treat it as a game. Both Cousins, a 37-year-old veteran with a history of emotional intensity, and Crosby, a fiery competitor and defensive anchor, are expected to contribute significantly to the team's competitiveness in the 2026 season.
