At this point in training camps in the NFL, teams start having joint practices with other teams leading to a preseason game at the end of the week.
One of these joint practices that has gotten out of hand lately is the Las Vegas Raiders sharing the field with the Los Angeles Rams ahead of their preseason clash on Saturday at SoFi Stadium.
Apparently, Rams running back Cam Akers went at Raiders star defensive end Maxx Crosby after a play got a little too rough for the running back’s liking.
Crosby brushed off the on-field altercation after practice by saying that’s what he does and didn’t seem to care if Akers liked it or not, which obviously makes for an interesting dynamic in these joint practices moving forward.
However, it appears that it’s all good regarding the relationship between Crosby and superstar defensive tackle Aaron Donald, who posed for this photo which was tweeted out by the Las Vegas star.

Best defensive player of all time, and Aaron Donald.

Crosby being that much bigger than Donald is probably the most surprising thing about this picture, as Donald looks so imposing while standing by himself, especially with his physique, which can be seen through his shirt.
However, there seems to be nothing but respect between these two stars, who are arguably two of the best defensive players in the NFL today, with Donald having the resume that Crosby would love to have once his career comes to an end.
