Rotowire
The Raiders placed Crosby (knee) on the injured reserve Saturday.
Crosby left Raiders facilities Friday after expressing displeasure upon learning he had been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Giants, per Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com. Following his placement on IR, Crosby will now be sidelined for Week 18 against the Chiefs as well. The edge rusher will thus wrap up the 2025 campaign with 73 total tackles, 10.0 sacks, six passes defensed, one interception and two forced fumbles across 15 appearances. According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, Crosby is expected to require offseason surgery to address his left knee injury, but he should be back to full health for training camp.

Raiders' Maxx Crosby: Forced to sit out
Rotowire
Crosby (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Giants.
Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com reports that Crosby left the team facility after hearing of the final decision. It is no surprise the defensive end was unhappy with the result, as he stated earlier in the week that he doesn't care about the Raiders securing the No. 1 overall draft pick, saying, "I don't play for that". If this is to be the end of Crosby's season, the 28-year-old will finish with 73 tackles (45 solo), including 10.0 sacks, and six passes defensed (including two interceptions) through 15 games.

Raiders' Maxx Crosby: Won't play Sunday
Rotowire
Crosby (knee) was informed that he'll be ruled out for Sunday's game against the Giants, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Crosby suffered a knee injury in Week 4 against the Bears that he has been playing through all season. Since acquiring the injury, the defensive end has logged six games with a 100 percent defensive snap rate and has dodged an injury designation nearly every week. It may not be a coincidence that the 28-year-old's health is being preserved during a matchup that could determine the No. 1 overall pick in the 2026 NFL draft, as the 2-13 Raiders are set to take on the 2-13 Giants.

He's played every single defensive snap in three of the Raiders' five games since the Week 8 bye, but if his snap count is limited to reduce the risk of aggravating his injury, then Tyree Wilson and Charles Snowden would be poised for more snaps at defensive end.
