Raiders comment on Maxx Crosby's injury reserve choice

Raiders Place Max Crosby on Injured Reserve

The Las Vegas Raiders made the decision to place defensive end Max Crosby on injured reserve, officially ending his season. This move comes as there has been some tension regarding Crosby’s reaction to the situation and the upcoming game against the New York Giants.

According to reports, Crosby will not be staying at the team facility after being placed on IR. The Raiders had hoped to keep their star player for the final two games of the season, but Crosby strongly opposed this plan, leading to his departure from the facility.

On Saturday, the Raiders stated this was the best course of action for both the team and Crosby. They announced, “We have made the decision to place Maxx Crosby on the reserve/injured list for the remainder of the 2025 season.” They emphasized that after consulting various medical experts, it was clear this decision was in the best interest of the organization and its players, praising Crosby as an exceptional competitor.

They expressed gratitude for his contributions, stating, “He is a true Raider on and off the field, and we look forward to his leadership and toughness in 2026 and beyond.”

The Raiders are set to face the Giants in a game that might play a pivotal role in determining who secures the No. 1 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, as both teams currently hold a record of two wins and thirteen losses this season.

When asked about the potential for a top draft pick, Crosby appeared unfazed. “I’m not playing for that. My job is to be the best defensive end in the world,” he remarked during an interview, expressing his commitment to excellence and leadership regardless of the team’s current predicament.

“That’s what I focus on every day, and being a great leader, having an impact, and being that person for the team consistently,” he reiterated. “The front office, the coaches, they’re doing that. But that doesn’t concern me. I’ve learned that lesson in the past. You can’t control everything. That’s not my job description. My job is to be the best in the world at what I do.”
