Rams-Raiders joint practice has its first fight and ‘punches were thrown’

It didn’t take long for a fight to breakout at the joint practices between the Los Angeles Rams and Las Vegas Raiders, which was to be expected. Except this time, it wasn’t Aaron Donald.

According to Tashan Reed of The Athletic, who covers the Raiders, defensive end Maxx Crosby was chasing running back Cam Akers and attempted to punch the ball loose. Reed noted that “the play was basically dead”, which was the cause for Akers to take offense to playing after what he might have assumed was the whistle and that “punches were thrown” in the melee.
