Raiders' Maxx Crosby: Removal from Week 7 precautionary

Crosby's (knee) removal from Sunday's 31-0 loss to the Chiefs is viewed as a precautionary measure, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Crosby left in the second quarter of Sunday's game, and with the Raiders facing a large deficit, the decision was made to keep the star pass rusher on the sideline. The Raiders are on a bye for Week 8, so even if Crosby's injury is considered more serious than initially expected, he'll have extra time to heal and should be ready to go for a Nov. 2 matchup with the Jaguars.
