Maxx Crosby’s Post-Surgery Photo Raises New Questions on Knee and Raiders Future

A visible knee brace in Crosby’s recovery photo led a former NFL physician to question whether the procedure extended beyond a simple meniscus cleanup.

Overview

  • Crosby announced successful knee surgery last week that was described as meniscus-related, with typical timelines ranging from three to six months.
  • Newsweek highlighted a recovery image showing a knee brace, and ex-team doctor David Chao said the brace suggests the operation may have been more extensive than a routine meniscectomy.
  • The Pro Bowler posted an upbeat message on X declaring his comeback will be “iconic,” signaling confidence in his rehabilitation.
  • Las Vegas ended Crosby’s season by placing him on injured reserve for the final two games, a decision he strongly opposed before briefly leaving team facilities, according to multiple reports.
  • Trade speculation persists following reports of a strained relationship, though Crosby remains under contract through 2029 after a roughly $107 million extension and has no confirmed trade request.
