Las Vegas Raiders have been dealt a significant blow as Pro Bowl defensive end Maxx Crosby has been placed on injured reserve due to a knee injury, effectively ending his 2024 season. This decision comes just a day after Crosby expressed frustration over not being able to play in Sunday's game against the New York Giants. According to ESPN, Crosby's knee injury is severe enough to require surgery. In a statement, the Raiders acknowledged that Crosby will undergo surgery and thanked him for his contributions to the team. The statement also praised Crosby's toughness and leadership, expressing hope for his recovery and future with the franchise. Crosby, who received his fifth consecutive Pro Bowl nod earlier this week, has been a standout performer for the Raiders. In 15 games this season, he has recorded 73 tackles, 20 quarterback hits, 10 sacks, two forced fumbles, and his first career interception. Throughout his seven seasons with the Raiders, Crosby has accumulated an impressive 439 tackles, 69.5 sacks, and 11 forced fumbles. The Raiders' injury woes continue, with Crosby joining tight end Brock Bowers and safety Jeremy Chinn on the injured reserve list. In a corresponding move, the team signed rookie defensive end Jahfari Harvey to the active roster, while elevating running back Chris Collier and receiver Phillip Dorsett from the practice squad for Sunday's game against the Giants. The game is a crucial matchup between two struggling teams, with the loser poised to take the top spot for the No. 1 pick in next April's draft.
