  "account": "On Friday, during a Las Vegas Raiders practice, a scuffle erupted between new quarterback Kirk Cousins and defensive Pro Bowler Maxx Crosby. Head coach Klint Kubiak announced that both players would miss Saturday's practice due to rule violations. During the practice, Cousins aimed to throw a pass to rookie receiver Malik Benson. Crosby, who had been physical with other offensive players earlier in the session and at previous practices, became agitated. Cousins confronted Crosby, leading to a heated exchange where they grabbed each other by the collar and began shouting. Coaches and teammates separated the two players. The incident highlights the competitive nature of camp, with Kubiak stating that fighting in the game results in ejection. Despite a potential trade to the Baltimore Ravens, Crosby rejoined the Raiders, reuniting him with Cousins, who was named the starting quarterback for the upcoming season.",
