Crosby tallied three solo tackles in the Raiders' loss Sunday versus the Colts.
Crosby was dealing with a knee injury last week, but he managed to play all but three of the team's defensive snaps during the blowout loss. The 28-year-old has recorded just 2.0 sacks across the first five games of the season, and he will look to have a more productive outing versus the Titans in Week 6.

Raiders' Maxx Crosby: Inks massive extension
Rotowire
Crosby (ankle) agreed to a three-year, $106.5 million extension with the Raiders on Wednesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Crosby's new deal contains $91.5 million in guaranteed money and keeps him on the books through 2029 while making him the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history. Before an ankle injury sidelined him for the Raiders' final four contests of 2024, Crosby was a paragon of durability, as he had previously never missed a game during his six-year professional career. Since he entered the league in 2019, Crosby has posted 59.5 sacks, the fifth-most in the NFL over that stretch.

Raiders' Maxx Crosby: Undergoing tightrope surgery
Rotowire
Crosby (ankle) is scheduled to undergo a tightrope procedure Tuesday to address the Grade 3 sprain he had aggravated Week 14, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports.
Crosby initially injured his ankle back in Week 2, but the issue worsened in Week 14 to the point of him requiring season-ending surgery. Reed reports that Crosby's recovery timetable could play out in a number of ways, but that the standout pass rusher is expected to be fully healthy to begin the 2025 campaign. Crosby's 2024 season thus concludes with 12 appearances, in which he racked up 45 tackles (28 solo), 7.5 sacks and five passes defensed.

Raiders' Maxx Crosby: Sits out of practice Thursday
Rotowire
Crosby (ankle) did not participate in practice Thursday.
The two-time All-Pro defensive end dealt with an ankle issue earlier in the year that forced him to miss a game, in Week 4, for the first time in his career. It's unclear if this is the same issue. The Raiders have two more practice sessions for Crosby to get back on the field ahead of Monday's matchup with the Falcons.

Crosby (ankle) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Rams, Rachel Gossen of the Raiders' official site reports.
Crosby opened the week with back-to-back DNPs, but he returned to practice Friday as a limited participant, which is enough for him to avoid an injury tag. Crosby has accrued 5.5 sacks through five regular-season games, and he'll look to add to his total against Matthew Stafford on Sunday.

Raiders' Maxx Crosby: Expected to play Sunday
Rotowire
Crosby (ankle) is listed as questionable but is expected to play in Sunday's game against the Broncos, Dianna Russini of The Athletic reports.
Crosby has been known to play through injuries throughout his NFL career, but a high-ankle sprain forced him to sit out of the Raiders' Week 4 win over the Browns. The absence was the first of his NFL career, but the All-Pro defensive end looks poised to return to the field Sunday, despite carrying a designation into the weekend.

Raiders' Maxx Crosby: Has chance to play vs. Denver
Rotowire
Crosby (ankle) was a limited participant in Friday's practice and is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Broncos, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.
Crosby sat out the Raiders' Week 4 win over the Browns, which was the first game he missed in his NFL career. It looked like he was in jeopardy of missing a second straight game after logging DNPs in the first two practices of the week. However, Crosby gave himself a shot at playing in Sunday's AFC West showdown after practicing in a limited capacity Friday. If Crosby cannot play Sunday, 2023 first-rounder Tyree Wilson would start at defensive end for a second straight game opposite Charles Snowden.

Raiders' Maxx Crosby: Misses Wednesday's practice
Rotowire
Crosby (ankle) didn't practice Wednesday, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports.
Crosby missed the first game of his career in Week 4 after sustaining an ankle injury the week prior, and following Wednesday's DNP, it appears he could be in jeopardy of missing even more time.

Raiders' Maxx Crosby: Status up in the air
Rotowire
Head coach Antonio Pierce said Monday that Crosby's (ankle) status for Week 5 will depend on practice this week, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports.
Crosby missed the first game of his career this past Sunday, bringing an 86-game active streak to an end. The veteran pass rusher was unable to practice during Week 4 prep, so he'll likely need to get on the field in some capacity this week to have a chance to play against the Broncos this Sunday.

Raiders' Maxx Crosby: Doubtful for Week 4
Rotowire
Crosby (ankle) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's contest against the Browns, Rachel Gossen of the Raiders' official site reports.
Crosby's listing on the Raiders' final Week 4 injury report is an about face following comments from coach Antonio Pierce earlier Friday, when he ruled out the pass rusher for Sunday's game, per Levi Edwards of the team's official site. Still, a doubtful designation doesn't give Crosby much wiggle room to suit up this weekend, something that'll be clarified about 90 minutes before a 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff. With Malcolm Koonce (knee) out for the season and Crosby likely out Sunday, Las Vegas' pass rush will hinge on Janarius Robinson, Tyree Wilson and Charles Snowden.
