Raiders' Keyron Crawford: Placed on injured reserve
Rotowire
The Raiders placed Crawford (ankle) on injured reserve Sunday, Sam Warren of The Athletic reports.
Crawford was not given a tag that designated his return during 2026, meaning the rookie third-rounder will spend the entirety of his first season on IR unless he works out a settlement with the team. With Crawford out, Malcolm Koonce becomes the primary depth option at outside linebacker behind Kwity Paye and Maxx Crosby.
