Overview
- Raiders coaches say Crosby is practicing without restrictions after January meniscus surgery and teammates describe his early-camp work as noticeably 'explosive' and impressive.
- The blockbuster trade to the Baltimore Ravens was voided after Crosby failed a physical this offseason, which left the pass rusher back on Las Vegas’ roster.
- Crosby has publicly affirmed his commitment to the Raiders and is mentoring rookie quarterback Fernando Mendoza as he takes a visible leadership role in camp.
- Coaches have warned Crosby to temper his practice intensity because his full-speed style risks injuring teammates, and he acknowledges he sometimes 'goes over the line.'
- NFL insiders say Crosby is unlikely to be moved this summer but his name is expected to resurface as a possible trade target before the mid-November deadline if the Raiders underperform.
