Raiders' Maxx Crosby Leaves Chiefs Game With Knee and Back Injuries, Expected to Be OK

The bye week gives the Pro Bowl pass rusher extra time to recover.

Overview

  • Crosby exited in the second quarter against Kansas City, was listed as doubtful to return, and did not come back in a 31-0 loss.
  • His injury followed a low block by Chiefs tight end Noah Gray that CBS rules analyst Gene Steratore said was legal.
  • NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported the decision to pull Crosby was precautionary and that he should be OK moving forward.
  • Crosby had been on the injury report in recent weeks and was limited in Friday’s practice with a back issue.
  • Las Vegas is off in Week 8 and next plays the Jaguars on Nov. 2, and Pro Football Focus data underscores Crosby’s outsized share of the Raiders’ pass-rush production.
