Pete Carroll Confirms Maxx Crosby Left Facility Over Dispute on Playing Status

Team officials cite a lingering knee issue as the reason to hold him out.

Overview

  • Carroll acknowledged he told Crosby to leave after the star objected to being sidelined for the final two games.
  • Team concern focuses on a knee Crosby has played through since October, according to NFL Network reporting.
  • Las Vegas is 2-13 with home games against the Giants on Sunday and the Chiefs on Jan. 4, with the No. 1 pick attainable if it loses both.
  • Crosby has said he wants to play and has brushed off draft-position considerations in comments earlier this week.
  • The defense would be without its top pass-rusher, who accounts for 38.5% of the Raiders' sacks, while the offense is already missing TE Brock Bowers on injured reserve.
