Sources – Raiders’ Crosby needs surgery; Season probably over

Las Vegas Raiders three-time Pro Bowl defensive back Maxx Crosby, who has already been ruled out of Monday night’s game against the Atlanta Falcons, will undergo arthroscopic ankle surgery that will likely end his 2024 season, league sources told ESPN .

Crosby will meet with Dr. Rob Anderson will meet and undergo arthroscopic surgery, which will determine whether further surgery is needed and how badly injured he is to the ankle he initially injured in Week 2 in Baltimore.

Crosby played this season with the same ankle injury, which now requires at least one surgery, possibly two depending on what Monday’s procedure reveals. However, doctors believe the extent of the injury could be worse than initially thought, which is why Crosby is unlikely to play again this season.

The Raiders (2-11) have already been eliminated from postseason contention and Crosby will begin rehab with an eye toward the 2025 season. The question will be whether it’s for the Raiders.

Multiple teams inquired about Crosby with Las Vegas before or during the NFL trade deadline in November. The Raiders refused to attract any team’s interest, with owner Mark Davis even telling ESPN, “We’re not trading Maxx Crosby.” Before or after the trade deadline!!!”

Still, it won’t stop other teams from approaching the Raiders again this offseason as they look to rebuild their roster around the quarterback they draft for the 2025 season.

Crosby turns 28 in August and is in the prime of his career, which will be attractive to other teams – or to Las Vegas if he stays there.
