Cousins benched for practice after heated exchange with Crosby; Mendoza gets first-team reps.

Kirk Cousins was benched during team and 11-on-11 periods on Saturday as punishment for his role in a heated exchange with Maxx Crosby on Friday. Coach Klint Kubiak held Cousins out to reinforce team discipline and expectations, stating: 'We have very clear expectations in how we want to practice and how we want to go about our business, and we violated that yesterday. So we held those guys out.' Cousins' absence created an unexpected opportunity for rookie first overall pick Fernando Mendoza to receive all first-team quarterback reps, which he capitalized on with his strongest practice of training camp.
