Raiders Lose Key Players Maxx Crosby and Sincere McCormick to Season-Ending Injuries

Despite a depleted roster, Las Vegas' defense has shown resilience with an improving pass rush late in the season.

Defensive end Maxx Crosby and running back Sincere McCormick have been placed on injured reserve, ending their 2024 seasons due to ankle injuries.
Crosby, a three-time Pro Bowler, underwent ankle surgery and finishes the season with 7.5 sacks, far below his 2023 production of 14.5 sacks.
McCormick, an undrafted rookie, rushed for 183 yards in five games before his injury, leaving the Raiders with a thin running back corps for the remainder of the season.
Despite key absences, the Raiders' defense has recorded 12 sacks over the last three games, ranking fourth in the NFL during that stretch.
The Raiders, now 2-12 on the season, face the possibility of securing the top pick in the 2025 NFL Draft as they continue to struggle offensively and defensively.
