For the Las Vegas Raiders, their follow accomplice was the Los Angeles Rams, and the scuffle concerned defensive captain Maxx Crosby.
On the finish of a play, Crosby tried to punch the soccer out of the palms of Rams operating again Cam Akers. The again didn’t take too kindly to Crosby’s actions and let him find out about it, resulting in a scuffle between the 2 through which punches had been thrown, and ultimately each groups needed to be separated.
Each Akers and Crosby had been ejected from the follow with Crosby having to sit down on the sidelines because the Raiders had bussed to the follow. Afterward, Crosby was requested in regards to the skirmish and the Raiders star mentioned Akers merely ‘received what he received,’ through Nick Shook of NFL.com:

Who “gained” the scuffle actually isn’t essential within the grand scheme of issues. Even in commonplace practices there are at all times going to be some dustups throughout coaching camp, and that rings very true when two groups get collectively for a joint follow.
Maxx Crosby is a frontrunner on this Raiders group and is predicted to set the tone, however this possible isn’t what the group is in search of frequently. The Raiders reportedly weren’t having the very best displaying previous to this dustup, and Crosby didn’t precisely deny that he might have been trying to fireplace his group up with some extracurriculars.
Finally this shall be forgotten about comparatively shortly, however the Raiders can’t afford to lose their cool frequently as soon as the season begins. Crosby stays a frontrunner on this group, and the way he goes, the Raiders will observe.
