Typical for whenever these teams get together on a football field, Rams running back Cam Akers and Raiders defensive end Maxx Crosby took swings at each other Wednesday at a joint practice.“Football is football — you’re going to have them days when it’s a little chippy,” Donald said. “But it comes with it. But it was a good day’s work.”“I feel like I ain’t where I want to be, but I feel like I’m getting better,” he said. “I did some good things and I did some things I didn’t like.
Despite his evaluation, Donald, 32, appears fully recovered from ankle surgery and in top shape as he prepares for his 10th season. A day after he traded punches with Raiders star defensive lineman Maxx Crosby, Rams running back Cam Akers said the two “chopped it up” after Thursday’s practice.The fight Wednesday began when Crosby chased Akers about 25 yards downfield and attempted to strip the ball.Said Donald: “I was asking both of them, I had them together, I was like, ‘Who won?’ They were, ‘I won. I won.’ I’m going to say it’s a tie.
