Raiders Shut Down Maxx Crosby for Season After Knee Evaluation

Pete Carroll said a fresh exam showed the knee was too damaged to risk more snaps.

Overview

  • Carroll confirmed Crosby left the facility after learning he would be sidelined and said he supported the player's reaction.
  • The knee issue dates to Week 7, yet Crosby played every week and has 10 sacks, 73 tackles and 20 quarterback hits, accounting for 38.5% of the team’s sacks.
  • Las Vegas is 2-13 and hosts the 2-13 Giants next, with reporting noting the Raiders would secure the No. 1 draft pick by losing their final two games.
  • Crosby said he does not care about draft positioning and prioritizes competing, reinforcing that he wanted to keep playing.
  • Crosby is signed through 2029 on a three-year, $106.5 million extension with about $91.5 million guaranteed, while Brock Bowers was recently placed on injured reserve and outside voices are speculating about front-office influence and future trade scenarios.
