Las Vegas Raiders defensive end Maxx Crosby posted a picture on his Instagram account from a hospital with a brace on his left knee, announcing that he underwent surgery for the knee injury that’s been plaguing him over the last few months. According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, Crosby had the meniscus repaired in his knee.
The procedure was widely expected. When the Raiders shut him down with two weeks left in the regular season, it was reported that he needed surgery on the knee to fully heal. Crosby had been battling the injury for the majority of the campaign, frequently having to sit out of or was limited in practices and appearing on the injury report for several consecutive weeks.
It got to a point where he was a non-participant in every practice leading up to the Week 17 contest against the New York Giants, and the Raiders decided to put him on injured reserve, which Crosby was infamously not happy with.
The five-time Pro Bowler captioned the image with, “Great Risk = Great Reward… Got Work To Do. Reset & Reload… Year 8 Will Be The Greatest Year Yet.” He finished the 2025 campaign with 73 tackles, a career high 28 TFLs, 10 sacks, six PDs, two forced fumbles and his first NFL interception to earn one of those five All-Star nominations.
