Speaking at his introductory press conference Tuesday, new Raiders head coach Klint Kubiak said he wants Crosby (knee) "to be a part of our success going forward, there's no doubt about that," Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

"I got to a cup of coffee with Maxx this morning," Kubiak said, via Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com. "Love talking with him. And look forward to continuing those conversations. He was the first one in here working out. So that fired me up." There has been a lot of smoke since the season ended that Crosby wants out of Las Vegas after the Raiders forced him to sit out the final two games of the regular season due to a minor knee injury that required surgery in January, as a way to help the Raiders secure the No. 1 overall pick in the 2026 Draft. However, Crosby has been extremely loyal to the Raiders since he was drafted in 2019, and he's a fan favorite. Getting the 28-year-old back on board should be one of the top priorities for the new coaching staff. Whether he's traded or not, Crosby is expected to complete his rehab from surgery well ahead of training camp.

Crosby (knee) was placed on the injured reserve list Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Crosby left Las Vegas' facilities Friday after expressing displeasure upon learning he'd 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 forced to miss the remainder of the 2025 season. The All-Pro edge rusher appeared in 15 games this year, tallying 73 total tackles, including 10.0 sacks, six passes defensed, with an interception, and two forced fumbles. Crosby remains under contract through the 2029 season, and Tyree Wilson is expected to shoulder a larger role on the Raiders' defensive line over the final two contests.

Crosby (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Crosby (knee) was informed that he'll be ruled out for Sunday's game against the Giants, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Crosby (knee) didn't participate in Las Vegas' practice Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Crosby continues to battle the knee injury that he's been playing through over the past several weeks. The 28-year-old should thus be good to go for Sunday's matchup against the Giants, where he'll look to help slow down an offense that passed for just 33 yards last week versus the Vikings.

Crosby logged six tackles (three solo), including two tackles for a loss and a quarterback hit, during the Raiders' 23-21 loss to the Texans on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Crosby was unable to extend his sack streak to four games Sunday, but he was responsible for two of the Raiders' six TFL's in the loss. The veteran pass rusher has played every single defensive snap in each of the last five games and is up to 73 tackles (45 solo), including 28 tackles for a loss and 10.0 sacks, six pass defenses (one interception) and two forced fumbles through 15 regular-season games.

Crosby (knee) doesn't have an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Texans.

EDGE Analysis

Crosby was able to upgrade to a full participant in Friday's practice, just in time to clear him of any injury designation ahead of Sunday's contest. The defensive end has not missed a game yet this season, and his healthy status implies that that streak will not end Sunday. Crosby will look to add to his 10.0 sacks total this week as he lines up against Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud.

Crosby (knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

EDGE Analysis

Crosby did not practice Wednesday due to a persistent knee issue, but was able to increase his participation level to limited in Thursday's session. The defensive end has yet to miss a game this season and will likely be able to upgrade his participation level again Friday to dodge an injury designation for Sunday's contest.

Crosby (knee) doesn't have an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Eagles.

EDGE Analysis

Crosby upgraded his practice participation throughout the week, culminating in a full practice Friday that cleared him of any injury designation for Sunday's game. The premier pass rusher has not missed a game all season, and that will not stop in Week 15, when the 28-year-old will likely log his fourth straight game of a 100 percent defensive snap share.

Crosby (knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

EDGE Analysis

Joining a consistent trend with Raiders defensive players, Crosby was able to play through his knee injury in last Sunday's loss to the Broncos. The premier pass rusher did not practice due to the injury Wednesday, but his return in a limited capacity Thursday signals that he will likely not miss Sunday's game against the Eagles. While Crosby will likely play Sunday regardless of practice status, a full participation grade Friday would give him the chance to be cleared of an injury designation for the game.
