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.
