It’s almost inevitable that a fight is going to break out at some point when two teams hold joint practices together during camp. The Rams and Raiders made it about 90 minutes before the first fight of the day broke out between Cam Akers and Maxx Crosby.
According to those in attendance in Thousand Oaks, Crosby tried to strip the ball from Akers’ hands, which the Rams running back took exception to. Punches were thrown and Akers was kicked out of practice, heading into the Rams’ facility early before the day wrapped up.
Crosby sat out the rest of the team period of practice, so he was also given some time to cool off after tempers flared.
This must have been more than the usual fight if Akers was thrown out.
