HENDERSON, Nev. (AP) — Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Kirk Cousins and star pass rusher Maxx Crosby got into a scuffle late in practice Friday before their teammates quickly jumped in and separated them.
Cousins, who is operating the first-team offense in training camp, remained on the field to finish the drive. Crosby, however, was sent to the sideline.
“Those are two leaders of our team going at it, so that is part of camp,” coach Klint Kubiak said. “Obviously, if you fight in a game and throw a punch in game, then you’re out of the game. So we’ve got to be smart and treat it like a game.”
Cousins 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.
“We don’t want to be throwing punches, but I think on any padded day of camp, there’s going to be some tussles,” tight end Michael Mayer said.
拉斯维加斯突袭者队四分卫库尔特·卡辛斯与马克斯·克罗斯比在周五训练中发生冲突
内华达州亨德森（美联社）——拉斯维加斯突袭者队四分卫库尔特·卡辛斯与明星冲传手马克斯·克罗斯比在周五的训练中发生了冲突，队友们迅速介入将他们分开。
卡辛斯在训练营中负责第一阵容的进攻，继续留在场上完成进攻，而克罗斯比则被送往场边。
“他们是我们球队的两个领导者，因此这也是训练营的一部分，”教练克林特·库比亚克说道。“显然，如果你在比赛中打架并出拳，你就会被罚出场。所以我们必须聪明地对待这件事，就像对待比赛一样。”
卡辛斯似乎对克罗斯比挡住他的传球感到不满，导致传球未完成，然后冲向身高6英尺5英寸、体重256磅的防守端，克罗斯比比他高出三英寸、重42磅。
“我们不希望打架，但我认为在任何穿戴护具的训练日，都会有一些冲突，”紧端迈克尔·梅耶表示。
