Reports – Raiders Discuss Shutting Down Maxx Crosby for the Remainder of the Season

This season hasn’t been the best for the Las Vegas Raiders. They are standing on a losing record of 5-7. Their recent game also resulted in a 17-31 shameful loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. Now, on the upcoming Monday Night Football, they will be facing the Minnesota Vikings. Their situation was already bad and now Maxx Crosby is facing an issue as well.

Ahead of their next matchup, the Raiders have hit the headlines for a new reason. They have sparked the interest of many due to their recent discussion on Crosby’s severe injury. It seems the star player is facing some injuries, landing the Raiders in troubled waters.

Maxx Crosby might not play for the rest of the season

The Raiders have come across another hurdle this season. Their defensive end, Maxx Crosby, seems to be at the center of a tremendous storm. The star hasn’t ever missed a game in his 5-year career, but he was doubtful before their match against the Chiefs due to a knee injury. However, the DE still played despite non-optimal conditions. Now, his decision to play has escalated his injury.

Crosby faced a swollen knee due to fluid buildup, and things got worse when the fluid teamed up with bacteria. This resulted in an alarming condition. Even though the infection was removed, the potential long-term effects are concerning. So much so that it might be a threat to limb and life.

Now, the Raiders have been discussing shutting down Crosby for the rest of the season. It’s not just a strategic move, but also a reminder that sports have a fine line between bravery and recklessness. Some might question the severity of the injury, but the injured himself revealed how he feels about his injury.

Crosby commented on the severity of his injury

Maxx is not the kind of person to shy away from confronting his opponents. He is literally the first person to go out on-field and play despite being listed as doubtful since 2020. The man has played in 49 of 60 defensive snaps and didn’t miss a match in his whole career.

It’s safe to say that Crosby is the last person to sit at home for no reason. He shared his painful experience with the injury; stating, “It was blowing up like a balloon. I woke up the next morning and almost passed out. I felt like I was dying. I was literally bedridden. I couldn’t move.”

His statements definitely shed more light on his current state, but final decisions are yet to come out. Can Crosby risk playing with such a threat looming over his health? What is your opinion on his injury?
