Raiders sit Cousins, Crosby day after scuffle

Raiders quarterback Kirk Cousins and defensive end Maxx Crosby were held out of practice Saturday in Henderson, Nevada, for disciplinary reasons tied to their fight Friday. Head coach Klint Kubiak said the team has “very clear expectations” for practice, and that the pair violated them, so they were kept off the field for the 11-on-11 portion while still doing stretching and individual drills. The Raiders were off Sunday, and both players are expected to practice Monday. Rookie Fernando Mendoza stepped in with the first-team offense, throwing two red-zone touchdowns to Tre Tucker and Brock Bowers.
