Raiders Place Maxx Crosby on Season-Ending IR as Star Edge Rusher Faces Offseason Knee Surgery

The team says multiple medical opinions prompted the shutdown.

Overview

  • Head coach Pete Carroll confirmed Crosby left the facility after being told he would be shut down for the final two games.
  • ESPN reported Crosby is expected to undergo knee surgery that will extend into the offseason, with the move framed as preparing him for 2026.
  • Crosby, who hurt his left knee Oct. 19 at Kansas City, had a recent MRI that raised long-term concerns if he continued to play, according to team and media reports.
  • Crosby strongly disagreed with the decision and remains upset, Jay Glazer reported, as outside speculation about potential offseason trade interest surfaced without confirmed talks.
  • Las Vegas filled the roster spot by signing Jahfari Harvey to the active roster, while Crosby posted basketball and trampoline clips as fans debated tanking optics before the 2-13 Raiders’ game against the 2-13 Giants; the team insists the decision was strictly medical.
