The Las Vegas Raiders are placing Maxx Crosby on season-ending injured reserve, the franchise announced. He is also expected to need surgery for his knee injury, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported.
The Raiders made waves Friday when news broke they planned to shut Crosby down for the remainder of the season. He was not happy with that decision and left the facility, head coach Pete Carroll confirmed .
By undergoing surgery, Crosby would be sidelined into the offseason, Schefter reported. The franchise released a statement confirmed the star pass rusher would go on season-ending IR.
“We have made the decision to place Maxx Crosby on the Reserve/Injured list for the remainder of the 2025 season,” the Raiders said in a statement. “After deliberate and thorough consultation with multiple top medical professionals, it became clear that this decision is in the best interest of both the franchise and the player.
“Maxx is the ultimate warrior, and he has fought extremely hard to compete each week with his teammates since injuring his knee mid-season. We are grateful for his extraordinary contributions. He is a true Raider on and off the field – we look forward to his leadership and toughness into 2026 and beyond.”
