Maxx Crosby has tackled opposing ball-carriers for a loss or no gain 22 times this season, the most in the NFL.

Set for Sunday

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

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.

Upgrades to limited Thursday

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

Analysis: 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 he's trending up for Sunday's game against the Eagles. While Crosby will likely play Sunday regardless of practice status, full participation Friday would clear him of an injury designation.

Can't practice Wednesday

Crosby (knee) is not participating in Wednesday's practice, Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: Crosby managed to play through his knee injury during Las Vegas' loss to the Broncos in Week 14, a contest in which he tallied four tackles (two solo), including 1.0 sacks while playing 100 percent of defensive snaps. The star pass rusher will work to gain clearance for Sunday's game against the Eagles, a feat that it seems like he could accomplish without him necessarily having to get on the practice field at all.

Brings down Nix in loss

Crosby posted four tackles (two solo), including 1.0 sacks, in Sunday's Week 14 loss to Denver.

Analysis: The Raiders sacked Bo Nix three times in the loss, with one of those sacks going to Crosby. The talented pass rusher continues to frustrate opposing offensive lines despite a rough season for Las Vegas, as he's posted 9.0 sacks though 13 games. If he can get one more sack in the Raiders' final four games, Crosby will reach the double-digit mark in the category for the fourth time in his seven-year career.

Cleared to play Week 14

Crosby (knee) is active for Sunday's game against Denver.

Analysis: Despite missing practice Thursday and Friday due to a knee injury, Crosby has been cleared to play Sunday after going through pregame warmups. He's played every single defensive snap in three of the Raiders' five games since the Week 8 bye, but if his snap count is limited to reduce the risk of aggravating his injury, then Tyree Wilson and Charles Snowden would be poised for more snaps at defensive end.

In line to play Sunday

Crosby, who is officially questionable for Sunday's matchup versus Denver due to a knee injury, is expected to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Analysis: Crosby has been dealing with a knee issue for much of the season, but he's yet to miss a game. However, his status seemed to be in more peril than usual this week after he logged a DNP both Thursday and Friday. Nonetheless, it sounds like Crosby is going to give it a go against the Broncos despite the 2-10 Raiders having already been eliminated from playoff contention. Crosby has 8.0 sacks on the campaign and will be looking to reach the fourth double-digit sack season of his seven-year NFL…read more

Questionable for Week 14

Crosby (knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Broncos, Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: Crosby wasn't able to practice Thursday or Friday after turning in a limited session Wednesday, but the Raiders are still giving him a chance to suit up. His chances of playing appear slim, but Crosby hasn't been sidelined since Week 4 of the 2024 campaign.

Misses practice Thursday

Crosby (knee) did not participate at practice Thursday.

Analysis: Crosby was unable to practice after he opened the week as a limited participant at Wednesday's session due to his ongoing knee issue. The defensive lineman will have one more chance to practice Friday before the team takes on Denver in Week 14.

Dealing with knee injury

Crosby (knee) was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice, Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: Crosby dealt with a knee injury during last week's practices, but he looked just fine on the field in Week 13 versus the Chargers, playing every defensive snap and posting nine tackles (six solo) and 2.0 sacks. It's worth monitoring his status, but as long as he maintains limited participation, he has a good chance to play this week versus the Broncos.

Sacks Herbert twice in Week 13 loss

Crosby posted nine tackles (six solo), including 2.0 sacks and four total tackles for a loss, during the Raiders' 31-14 loss to the Chargers on Sunday.

Analysis: Sunday was Crosby's second multi-sack game of the season, as the veteran pass rusher got to Justin Herbert for six- and two-yard sacks in the second and third quarter, respectively. Crosby's 8.0 sacks through 12 regular-season games surpasses his total from 2024, and he is on pace to reach double-digit sacks for the fourth time in his seven-year NFL career.

Full participant Thursday

Crosby (knee) was a full participant at practice Thursday.

Analysis: Crosby upgraded to a full participant Thursday after being limited in Wednesday's session. The starting defensive end has been nursing a persistent knee injury throughout the season but hasn't missed any time. Barring any setbacks, Crosby's full participation status means he is likely good to go for Sunday's game against the Chargers.

Limited to open week

Crosby (knee) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday.

Analysis: Crosby was once again listed on the injury report to open the week as he continues to nurse a knee injury throughout the year. The defensive lineman hasn't missed any action this season, and he'll have two more opportunities to log a full practice before Sunday's matchup with the Chargers.

Huge performance in defeat

Crosby recorded eight tackles (five solo), including five tackles for loss, in Sunday's 24-10 loss to the Browns.

Analysis: Though the Raiders suffered a disappointing defeat, Crosby wasn't at fault, as he logged a season high in both tackles and tackles for loss. Crosby has 19 tackles for loss across 11 games to this point in the campaign, and he is well on pace to set a career-high mark in the statistic.

Good to go for Week 12

Crosby (knee) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Browns, Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: Crosby has been dealing with the knee issue for weeks but has yet to miss a game this season and continues to play nearly every single defensive snap for Las Vegas. The star edge rusher has posted 42 tackles (26 solo), including 6.0 sacks, 12 QB hits and six pass breakups, including one interception, on 91 percent of the defensive snaps through 10 contests.

Pops up on injury report

Crosby (knee) was limited in practice Thursday, Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: The defensive end played on 65 defensive snaps in Monday's loss to the Cowboys, recording five tackles (three solo), including 1.0 sacks, and a forced fumble. Crosby wasn't listed on Wednesday's injury report, so it's possible his limited participation Thursday was just a precaution. His status will be worth monitoring Friday ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Browns.

Tallies sixth sack

Crosby recorded five tackles (three solo) along with one sack, one tackle for loss and one forced fumble in Monday's 33-16 loss to the Cowboys.

Analysis: Crosby made his mark on the game early on, sacking Dak Prescott and forcing a fumble on the Cowboys' second possession. He also recorded at least five tackles for the fifth time this season. Crosby remains a bright spot for an otherwise overmatched Raiders' defense.

Tallies five stops vs. Denver

Crosby ended Thursday's 10-7 loss to the Broncos with five tackles (two solo).

Analysis: Crosby wasn't able to add to his sack total, but he played every single defensive snap for the third time this season while finishing fourth on the Raiders in tackles. The veteran defensive end is up to 37 tackles (23 solo), including 5.0 sacks, six pass defenses (one interception) and one forced fumble through nine regular-season games.

Ready to face Jags

Crosby does not have an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against Jacksonville.

Analysis: Crosby suffered a knee injury in Week 7 but had a bye week to rest up prior to Sunday's matchup against the Jaguars. He upgraded to a full session Friday and should be ready to play his typical snap rate in Week 9.

Back at practice Thursday

Crosby (knee) participated in Thursday's practice, Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: Crosby sustained a knee injury during the second quarter of the Raiders' Week 7 loss to the Chiefs. He had extra time to rest thanks to the Week 8 bye, and his ability to practice Thursday indicates that he is trending toward being available for Sunday's game against the Jaguars. Charles Snowden, Tyree Wilson and rookie fourth-rounder Tonka Hemingway would pick up more rotational snaps at defensive end if Crosby is unable to play Week 9.

Doesn't practice Wednesday

Crosby (knee/back) did not practice Wednesday, Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: Crosby may not practice until Friday, coach Pete Carroll said, according to McFadden. The expectation is Crosby will play Sunday against the Jaguars. Crosby has produced 28 tackles (18 solo), including 4.0 sacks, nine QB hits and five pass breakups, including one interception, across seven games this season.

Unlikely to leave Las Vegas

The Raiders don't plan to trade Crosby (knee), Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Analysis: Pelissero notes that while other teams have communicated interest in acquiring Crosby, Las Vegas has no intention of trading the star defensive end, who has expressed a desire to remain with the Raiders. Crosby has spent his entire career with the franchise after being drafted by the Raiders in the fourth round of the 2019 NFL Draft, and he's accumulated 63.5 career regular-season sacks, including 4.0 this season. Though Crosby left this past Sunday's game against Kansas City in the second…read more

Removal from Week 7 precautionary

Crosby's (knee) removal from Sunday's 31-0 loss to the Chiefs is viewed as a precautionary measure, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Analysis: Crosby left in the second quarter of Sunday's game, and with the Raiders facing a large deficit, the decision was made to keep the star pass rusher on the sideline. The Raiders are on a bye for Week 8, so even if Crosby's injury is considered more serious than initially expected, he'll have extra time to heal and should be ready to go for a Nov. 2 matchup with the Jaguars.

Unlikely to return vs. Kansas City

Crosby (knee/back) is doubtful to return to Sunday's game against the Chiefs.

Analysis: Crosby suffered the injuries in the second quarter, and the veteran pass rusher is unlikely to be cleared to return to Sunday's game. If he is in fact done for the day, he'll finish with three tackles (one solo). Charles Snowden and Tyree Wilson will see more snaps on defense while Crosby is out of the game.

Sacks Ward twice Sunday

Crosy recorded three total tackles (all solo), including 2.0 sacks, in Sunday's 20-10 win over the Titans.

Analysis: The All-Pro edge rusher was one of four Raiders to sack Cam Ward during Sunday's win. Crosby has now tallied 25 total tackles, including 4.0 sacks, and five passes defended, including one interception, over Las Vegas' first six games this season. He's expected to remain one of the NFL's premier defensive playmakers in the Week 7 divisional matchup against the Chiefs.

Logs three tackles in loss

Crosby tallied three solo tackles in the Raiders' loss Sunday versus the Colts.

Analysis: 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.

Cleared to play Week 5

Crosby (knee) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Colts.

Analysis: Crosby popped up on Thursday's practice report as a limited participant due to a knee injury. He managed to log a full practice Friday and has been cleared to play in Sunday's road tilt. The 2019 fourth-rounder has logged 19 tackles (11 solo), including 2.0 sacks, four pass defenses (including one interception) and one forced fumble through the first four games of the regular season.

Added to injury report

Crosby (knee) was a limited participant at practice Thursday, Anthony Galaviz of The Fresno Bee reports.

Analysis: Crosby was added to the injury report Thursday with an apparent knee injury, logging a limited practice after opening the week as a full participant Wednesday. The defensive end will look to return to all activity Friday to erase any concerns about his chances to play Sunday on the road versus the Colts.

Secures interception in loss

Crosby recorded five solo tackles, an interception and a forced fumble in Sunday's 25-24 loss to the Bears.

Analysis: Crosby jumped in front of a pass from Caleb Williams in the first quarter, securing the first interception of his seven-year NFL career. Additionally, he stripped Williams of the ball in the second quarter, but the Bears recovered. Through four games this year, the defensive lineman has now compiled 19 total tackles (11 solo), including 2.0 sacks, while also adding four passes defensed, one of which was an interception, and a forced fumble.

Picks up second sack

Crosby totaled seven tackles (four solo), including 1.0 sacks, in a loss to the Commanders on Sunday.

Analysis: Crosby paced Las Vegas in stops and recorded the team's only sack when he brought down Marcus Mariota for an eight-yard loss in the fourth quarter. The star pass rusher is up to 2.0 sacks through three games as he seeks his fourth career campaign of double-digit sacks.

Five tackles in loss

Crosby recorded five total tackles (one solo) in Monday's 20-9 loss to the Chargers.

Analysis: Crosby was on the field for 57 of the team's 58 defensive snaps in the contest and he even caused a botched handoff between Justin Herbert and Omarion Hampton in the fourth quarter. The defensive end has now compiled seven total tackles (two solo), including 1.0 sacks, while also adding a pass defensed over two games in 2025.

Credit with sack in Week 1 win

Crosby logged two tackles (one solo), including 1.0 sacks, and one pass defense during Sunday's 20-13 win over the Patriots.

Analysis: Crosby was credited with a sack in the first quarter when he pushed Drake Maye out of bounds. Crosby played all 71 defensive snaps in Sunday's win, which is a good sign after the 2019 fourth-rounder missed the final four games of the 2024 campaign due to an ankle injury.

Past ankle issue

Crosby (ankle) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports.

Analysis: Crosby missed the final five games of the Raiders' 2024 campaign due to an ankle injury, but his full practice participation Wednesday suggests he's already moved past the issue. The Eastern Michigan product inked a three-year, $106.5 million extension to keep him in Las Vegas in early March after posting 59.5 sacks across six seasons with the team. Now back to full health, Crosby is expected to remain one of the NFL's top defensive playmakers in 2025.

Inks massive extension

Crosby (ankle) agreed to a three-year, $106.5 million extension with the Raiders on Wednesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Analysis: 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.

Officially goes to IR

Las Vegas placed Crosby (ankle) on its injured reserve list Wednesday.

Analysis: This was a foregone conclusion, as Crosby underwent a tightrope procedure Tuesday to address an ankle injury he aggravated in Week 14. He's expected to be ready for the start of the 2025 season, but for the rest of this year, 2023 first-rounder Tyree Wilson figures to step in as the starter on the edge across from K'Lavon Chaisson.

Undergoing tightrope surgery

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.

Analysis: 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.

Likely needs season-ending surgery

Crosby, who has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Falcons, revealed in an Instagram post Saturday that he expects to undergo season-ending arthroscopic surgery on his injured ankle.

Analysis: In his post, Crosby relayed that he first suffered a high-ankle sprain in the Week 2 win over the Ravens, but he played the following week in a loss to Carolina before aggravating the injury and sitting out a Week 4 win over the Browns. He proceeded to play in each of the next nine games, but after the same ankle got rolled up on again in this past Sunday's loss to the Buccaneers, Crosby has scheduled a meeting in Charlotte on Monday with Dr. Robert Anderson, who is expected to arthroscopic…read more

Sits out of practice Thursday

Crosby (ankle) did not participate in practice Thursday.

Analysis: 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.

Notches sack in loss Friday

Crosby recorded four tackles (three solo), including 1.0 sacks, in Friday's 19-17 Week 13 loss to Kansas City.

Analysis: Crosby added three quarterback hits in addition to his sack as he was able to get to Patrick Mahomes throughout the closely contested game. The sack was Crosby's first since Week 7, ending a four-game sack-less span. He's up to 7.5 sacks on the season as he seeks his third straight double-digit sack campaign.

Makes five tackles in loss

Crosby registered five tackles (three solo) in Sunday's 34-19 loss to the Dolphins.

Analysis: Crosby now has been held without a sack for three consecutive contests, and he remains without a single forced turnover through his first nine games of the 2024 season. He'll look to pressure rookie quarterback Bo Nix when Las Vegas next hosts the Broncos in Week 12.

Three tackles in loss

Crosby recorded three tackles (one solo) in Sunday's 41-24 loss to the Bengals.

Analysis: Crosby also was credited with one pass defensed, but he's now gone two consecutive games without a sack ahead of the Raiders' Week 10 bye. Nonetheless, he's played 100.0 percent of the team's defensive snaps in three straight contests.

Cleared to suit up Sunday

Crosby (ankle) does not have an injury designation for the Raiders' Week 8 contest versus Kansas City on Sunday, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: Crosby has been dealing with an ankle injury for over a month and missed the first game of his career Week 4 against Cleveland. He did not practice Thursday of this week but was a full participant both Wednesday and Friday, enabling him to suit up against Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs on Sunday. Through six contests this season, Crosby has logged 6.5 sacks, tied for sixth-most in the NFL.

DNP on Thursday

Crosby (ankle) did not participate in practice Thursday.

Analysis: Crosby's DNP on Thursday is likely a rest day after the 2019 fourth-round pick was able to practice in full Wednesday. Friday's injury report will provide clarity on his status heading into Sunday's game against the Chiefs.

Adds to sack total in loss to Rams

Crosby recorded three tackles (one solo), including one sack in Sunday's 20-15 loss to the Rams.

Analysis: Crosby played all 55 defensive snaps for the Raiders despite being hampered by an ankle injury that forced him to miss back-to-back practices earlier in the week, and he managed to take down Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford during the first quarter of Sunday's tilt. Crosby has 6.5 sacks through his first six games played of the season, but he's yet to force a turnover ahead of a Week 8 matchup against Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs.

Will play Week 7

Crosby (ankle) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Rams, Rachel Gossen of the Raiders' official site reports.

Analysis: 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.

DNP again

Crosby (ankle) did not practice Thursday.

Analysis: Crosby has logged back-to-back DNPs to start the week as he continues to work his way through an ankle injury. The All-Pro defensive end has historically played through injuries, but given he missed his first career NFL game in Week 4, there's no guarantee he would suit up Sunday against the Rams if he were to miss Friday's practice as well.

Doesn't practice Wednesday

Crosby (ankle) was listed as a DNP on the Raiders' injury report Wednesday, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: Crosby missed the first NFL game of his career against the Browns in Week 4 due to an ankle injury, but the All-Pro defensive end has played through the issue in each of the last two games. It's the third time he's opened the week as a DNP, but the expectation is, barring any setbacks, that Crosby should be good to go for Sunday's game against the Rams. Across five regular-season games, Crosby has accumulated 20 tackles (13 solo), including 5.5 sacks, and two pass breakups.

Three tackles versus Pittsburgh

Crosby recorded three tackles (two solo), including 0.5 sacks, in the Raiders' loss to the Steelers on Sunday.

Analysis: Crosby has recorded at least 0.5 sacks in four of his five appearances to begin the 2024 campaign. He's also tied for the league lead with nine tackles for loss, a category in which Crosby has led the NFL in each of the last two seasons. In total, Crosby has 20 tackles (13 solo), including 5.5 sacks, 10 QB hits and two pass breakups after five games.

No injury tag heading into Sunday

Crosby (ankle) doesn't hold an injury designation heading into Sunday versus the Steelers, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: Crosby was a limited participant in Friday's practice, which appears to be enough for him to be active against the Steelers. The star pass rusher has 17 tackles (11 solo), including 5.0 sacks, across four games so far this season.

Still dealing with ankle injury

Crosby (ankle) didn't practice Wednesday.

Analysis: The All-Pro edge rusher recorded three total tackles, including 2.0 sacks, while playing through his ankle issue in the Raiders' Week 5 loss to the Broncos, so holding him out of Wednesday's practice is most likely precautionary. Crosby's participation Thursday and Friday will provide a better indication of whether he can continue playing through this ankle injury in Week 6, when the Raiders host the Steelers.

Two sacks in return from injury

Crosby made three tackles (all solo) and two sacks in Sunday's 34-18 loss to the Broncos.

Analysis: Returning from the ankle injury that sidelined him in Week 4, Crosby got to Broncos quarterback Bo Nix twice Sunday for his fourth and fifth sacks of the season. Crosby will look to take advantage of the matchup against Justin Fields and the Steelers up next in Week 6.

Suiting up as expected

Crosby (ankle) is active for Sunday's Week 5 matchup against the Broncos, Rachel Gossen of the Raiders' official site reports.

Analysis: Crosby saw his 86-game active streak come to an end in Week 4 when he missed his first career NFL contest. The All-Pro pass rusher will return to action though in Week 5 as expected, which is certainly a boost to the Raiders' defensive front in Denver.

Expected to play Sunday

Crosby (ankle) is listed as questionable but is expected to play in Sunday's game against the Broncos, Dianna Russini of The Athletic reports.

Analysis: 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. He's registered 14 tackles (eight solo), three sacks and two pass breakups through three appearances in 2024.

Has chance to play vs. Denver

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.

Analysis: 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…read more

Misses Wednesday's practice

Crosby (ankle) didn't practice Wednesday, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports.

Analysis: 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. The All-Pro pass rusher will likely need to upgrade to at least limited participation Thursday or Friday in order to suit up for the Raiders' Week 5 matchup against the Broncos.

Status up in the air

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.

Analysis: 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.

Missing first game of career

Crosby (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Browns, the first absence of his NFL career.

Analysis: The star defensive end's 86-game regular-season perfect attendance record therefore will come to an end. Crosby's status was trending in a negative direction all week, with head coach Antonio Pierce even verbally ruling him out during his media availability Friday before Crosby garnered a doubtful tag on the official final injury report later in the day. Crosby now will set his sights on keeping his absence to one game and returning for a Week 5 divisional road clash against the Broncos next…read more

Doubtful for Week 4

Crosby (ankle) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's contest against the Browns, Rachel Gossen of the Raiders' official site reports.

Analysis: 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…read more

Ruled out versus Cleveland

Crosby (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Browns, Levi Edwards of the Raiders' official site reports.

Analysis: It will be Crosby's first missed game of his six-year career, snapping a streak of 86 consecutive contests. It's a mammoth loss for a Las Vegas defense lacking star power. With Malcolm Koonce (knee, IR) already done for the year, 2023 first-rounder Tyree Wilson is going to have to step up versus Cleveland. Janarius Robinson and Charles Snowden will also see expanded roles off the edge.

Logs another DNP

Crosby (ankle) did not participate in Thursday's practice, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports.

Analysis: Crosby has now missed the first two practices this week after sustaining a high-ankle sprain in Week 3 against the Panthers. He's never missed a game in his career, but the 2019 fourth-round pick is in jeopardy of doing so unless he can practice in some capacity Friday.

Misses Wednesday's practice

Crosby (ankle) didn't practice Wednesday, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: Crosby played through an ankle injury during the Raiders' Week 3 loss to the Panthers and emerged from Sunday's contest with a high ankle sprain. His practice participation Thursday and Friday will provide a better indication of his possible availability in Week 4, though the All-Pro defensive end has yet to miss a game in his career.

Has high ankle sprain

Crosby emerged from Sunday's 36-22 loss to the Panthers with a high ankle sprain, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports.

Analysis: The defensive end recorded three tackles and a pass defensed in the defeat. Crosby entered the game with an ankle injury but it's unclear if this new injury is related to that one. The sixth-year pro has yet to miss a game in his career.

Active for Sunday's game

Crosby (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against Carolina.

Analysis: Crosby was limited all week due to an ankle injury, but it doesn't appear serious enough to keep him out of Sunday's game. The 2019 fourth-round pick has accumulated 11 tackles (seven solo), including 3.0 sacks, and one pass defended over the first two games of the regular season.

Expected to play versus Carolina

Crosby (ankle) is slated to suit up for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: Crosby was a limited participant during practice Wednesday through Friday, and he was listed as questionable on the Raiders' final injury report. However, it appears the 27-year-old is still on track to play, as Las Vegas coach Antonio Pierce said Friday that he desn't expect Crosby to miss Sunday's game, according to Rachel Gossen of the team's official site. The three-time Pro Bowler has totaled 11 tackles, including 3.0 sacks, so far this season.

Officially questionable for Sunday

Crosby (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the Panthers, Rachel Gossen of the Raiders' official site reports.

Analysis: Despite the official designation, coach Antonio Pierce said Friday that he expects Crosby to play in Week 3. If he's ultimately unable to go, it could mean an expanded role for K'Lavon Chaisson.

Limited Thursday

Crosby (ankle) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: Crosby appears to have tweaked his ankle during Las Vegas' Week 2 win over Baltimore. The 2019 fourth-round pick hasn't missed a regular-season game in his NFL career, and if he's able to practice in at least a limited capacity Friday, then he should be able to play Sunday against the Panthers. Crosby has accrued 11 tackles (seven solo), including 3.0 sacks, and one pass defended through the first two games of the regular season.

Limited on estimated injury report

Crosby (ankle) was considered to be a limited participant at the Raiders' walkthrough Wednesday, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: Crosby secured six total tackles (five solo), including 2.0 sacks, in the team's win over Ravens in Week 2, but he appears to have left the contest a little worse for wear. The defensive end will have two more chances to increase his workload at practice before Friday's final injury report ahead of Week 3 against the Panthers.

Picks up two sacks in victory

Crosby recorded six tackles (five solo), including 2.0 sacks, in the Raiders' win over the Ravens on Sunday.

Analysis: One of the lone true every-down edge players in the league today, Crosby has played 100 percent of the defensive snaps through two weeks and is already up to five QB hits, including 3.0 sacks. His five total tackles for loss lead the league. As long as he stays healthy, Crosby should have no problem piling up double-digit sacks for the third straight season.

Records sack versus Chargers

Crosby registered five tackles (two solo), including 1.0 sacks, Sunday during the Raiders' 22-10 loss versus the Chargers.

Analysis: Crosby was productive in the season opener as he managed to bring down Justin Herbert for the team's only sack. The 2019 fourth-round pick is coming off the best year of his career and will look to keep producing as the season goes on.

Earns raise

The Raiders reworked Crosby's contract Thursday to give him an additional $6 million in 2023 and $1.2 million in 2024, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Analysis: The reworked contract does not come with any additional years to Crosby's current contract. With Malcolm Koonce already in the mix and the signing of Christain Wilkins this offseason, the Raiders should have among the best defensive lines in the league in 2024.

Fully healthy

Crosby (knee) said, "I'm feeling better than I ever have," Monday, after he spent much of 2023 fighting through a knee injury that required draining multiple times a week, Nick Shook of NFL.com reports.

Analysis: Crosby set career highs in combined tackles (90) and sacks (14.5) last season despite spending much of the campaign hampered by a bursa joint issue. The 26-year-old underwent a procedure to correct it in January after the season ended and began rehabbing it soon after, which went "incredible," according to Crosby.

Recovering from hand surgery

Crosby (knee) underwent hand surgery Tuesday, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports.

Analysis: Crosby has already had two procedures this offseason, as he previously underwent cleanup surgery on his knee earlier this month. Both health concerns plagued Crosby at various points during the 2023 season, but it wasn't evident in his production. He suited up for all 17 of the Raiders' games and set career highs in tackles (90) and sacks (14.5), giving him a strong argument for NFL Defensive Player of the Year honors after he was announced as one of five finalists for the award last week.

Undergoes knee procedure

Crosby underwent a "small cleanup" procedure on his knee Wednesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Analysis: Crosby was dealing a knee injury for almost the entire 2023 campaign and he required a minor surgery on his bursa joint. In spite of being less than fully healthy, Crosby appeared in all 17 of the Raiders' games and logged a career-high 14.5 sacks to go with 90 tackles and two forced fumbles.

Needs multiple surgeries

Crosby will need surgeries on his knee and thumb this offseason, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports.

Analysis: There's no exact timeline on when Crosby plans to get these surgeries or how long the recovery time is, but it's expected to happen at some point this offseason. Despite dealing with knee and apparent thumb issues throughout the year, Crosby was able to suit up in all 17 of the Raiders' games. The 26-year-old was voted second-team All-Pro for the second time in his career, recording 90 total tackles, including 23 tackles for loss.

Cleared to play Sunday

Crosby (knee) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Broncos, Anthony Galaviz of The Fresno Bee reports.

Analysis: Crosby has been playing through knee issues most of the second half of the season, but it hasn't limited his playing time. He's played every defensive snap across the past two games. Crosby heads into the season finale with 13.5 sacks, a new career-high mark for the 26-year-old.

Practices Thursday

Crosby (knee) was a limited participant in practice Thursday after being listed as a limited participant on Wednesday's practice estimate.

Analysis: The three-time Pro Bowler has still never missed a game in his five-year career. Crosby has 88 tackles, including 13.5 sacks, in 2023. The defensive end also has two passes defensed, two forced fumbles and a fumble recovery.

Forces fumble in loss to Colts

Crosby recorded six tackles (three solo) and one forced fumble in Sunday's loss to the Colts.

Analysis: Crosby played 100 percent of the defensive snaps against Indy and is one of league's few true every-down edge defenders. He's gone three straight games without a sack and has been stuck on 13.5 of them since Week 14. Additionally, Crosby has totaled 88 tackles (53 solo) and a pair of forced fumbles.

Suiting up Monday

Crosby (knee) has no injury designation ahead of Monday's game against the Chiefs.

Analysis: Crosby opened Las Vegas' week of practice with back-to-back DNPs, but after a limited session Saturday, he's in line to play Christmas Day. Through the Raiders' first 14 games this year, the 26-year-old has recorded 80 total tackles, including 24 tackles for loss and 13.5 sacks. Crosby could be in for a big day Monday, as the Chiefs' offensive line has given up the fourth most sacks in the NFL thus far (46.0) and the unit will be without starting tackle Donovan Smith (neck).

Sits out of practice

Crosby (knee) did not participate in practice Thursday.

Analysis: Crosby has been dealing with the knee injury for three weeks but has yet to miss a game. The fifth-year pro has 13.5 sacks, two passes defensed, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery in 2023.

Notches four stops Week 15

Crosby totaled four tackles (two solo) in a 63-21 win over the Chargers on Thursday Night Football.

Analysis: Crosby has been dealing with a knee injury for the past two weeks, but it hasn't caused him to miss any game action. The star defensive end logged a modest four stops in the victory, but one was for a loss, and he also notched two QB hits. Crosby will now have extra time to rest his knee before the Raiders' next contest, which will take place on Christmas Day versus Kansas City.

Active Thursday

Crosby (knee) is active for Thursday's game against the Chargers.

Analysis: Crosby has carried injury designations into three straight games but has yet to miss one in his five-year NFL career. The defensive end was his usual productive self in Week 14 against the Vikings despite the injury, recording 10 tackles, including two sacks. Crosby is third in the NFL with 13.5 sacks in 2023.

Questionable for Week 15

Crosby (knee) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Chargers.

Analysis: Crosby has been dealing with a knee issue for several weeks and is carrying a designation into a third consecutive game. Even though he's facing a quick turnaround for the Week 15 contest after the Raiders played on Sunday last week, Crosby appears to be in a better spot on the health front. After being listed as questionable ahead of last week's game against Minnesota, Crosby suited up and delivered one of his best performances of the season in the 3-0 loss, finishing with 10 tackles and two…read more

Still dealing with injury

Crosby (knee) was listed as did not participate on the Raiders' practice estimate for Monday.

Analysis: Crosby was questionable for the team's loss to the Vikings on Sunday but ended up playing and recording 10 tackles, including two sacks, in the process. However, although the team did not actually practice Monday, his appearance on the injury report would suggest he's still dealing with the knee issue and will open the week questionable for Thursday's divisional matchup with the Chargers.

Active Sunday

Crosby (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Vikings.

Analysis: The 2021 All-Pro played in Week 12 against the Chiefs despite being listed as doubtful and is playing again in Week 14 despite being listed as questionable. Crosby has yet to miss a game in his five-year NFL career. The defensive end has 66 tackles, including 11.5 sacks, two passes defensed, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery in 2023.

Could suit up vs. Vikings

Crosby (knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against Minnesota, Rachel Gossen of the Raiders' official site reports.

Analysis: Crosby began Las Vegas' week of practice with two consecutive DNPs, but he was able to log a limited session Friday, and he has a chance to play Sunday. The All-Pro has yet to miss a game in his entire NFL career, but if he's unable to go in Week 14, Tyree Wilson would likely see increased work on the Raiders' defensive line.

Starts week with DNP

Crosby (knee) did not participate in Wednesday's practice session.

Analysis: Crosby was able to play Week 12 against the Chiefs even though he was listed as doubtful for the game. He still appears to be dealing with the knee injury despite the bye week, but his practice participation could ramp up leading up to Sunday's game against the Vikings. Crosby is up to 11.5 sacks this season and is one away from tying the career-high he set last year.

Notches another sack in loss

Crosby (knee) recorded a sack in the Raiders' 31-17 loss to Kansa City on Sunday.

Analysis: Crosby was able to log another sack Sunday despite playing through a knee injury and now has 11.5 takedowns on the season. The 2019 fourth-round pick is now just one sack shy of tying his career high of 12.5 set last year, and he'll look to add to his total when the Raiders take on the Vikings following their upcoming Week 13 bye.

Will play against Chiefs

Crosby (knee) is active for Sunday's contest against the Chiefs.

Analysis: Though Crosby missed practice all week while dealing with a knee injury he sustained in Week 9 against the Giants and was listed as doubtful, he's available Sunday after all. Crosby has been able to play through the issue and has played in 100 percent of the Raiders' defensive snaps in his last four appearances. Crosby's 10.5 sacks on the year is tied for sixth best in the NFL with Kayvon Thibodeaux.

Has chance to play vs. Kansas City

Crosby (knee) remains listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Chiefs but is "pushing to play" and has a "realistic chance" of doing so, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Analysis: Heading into Sunday, 67 players have been tagged as doubtful on a team's final injury report during any week this season, but none have ended up suiting up for the corresponding contest. Still, Crosby appears intent on defying the odds and taking the field Sunday, which would provide a huge boost to Las Vegas' pass rush, considering that the defensive end leads the club with 10.5 sacks on the season. Despite the apparent optimism, Crosby is likely still 50-50 at best to play, and his status…read more

Doubtful for Week 12 vs. KC

Crosby (knee) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Rachel Gossen of the Raiders' official site reports.

Analysis: Crosby failed to practice in any capacity throughout the week and is trending toward his first absence of the season. The star defensive end has 10.5 sacks through 11 games, so if Crosby sits out Sunday, that would likely result in more time for Patrick Mahomes to make plays from the pocket for Kansas City.

Doesn't practice Wednesday

Crosby (knee) didn't practice Wednesday.

Analysis: Crosby played through his knee issue last week against the Dolphins, recording six tackles (three solo) and one sack on 100 percent of the defensive snaps. The veteran isn't someone who needs to practice much in order to play on Sunday.

Will play at Miami

Crosby (knee) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game at the Dolphins, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.

Analysis: Despite being limited at practice all week, Crosby is on track to suit up in Week 11. He's on pace for a career year in the sack department going into Sunday's game, and the Raiders project to see a heavy dose of the pass at Miami.

Limited at Wednesday's practice

Crosby (knee) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday.

Analysis: Crosby played through the knee injury in Week 10, so he's likely just getting a little extra rest. If he can upgrade to practicing in full Thursday or Friday, he could avoid carrying an injury designation into the weekend.

Dealing with knee issue

Crosby was a limited participant during practice Wednesday due to a knee injury.

Analysis: Crosby played every defensive snap en route to tallying a season-high three sacks during Sunday's win against the Giants. But, it appears he picked up a knee injury coming out of the contest. While the nature and severity of this issue are still unclear, Crosby's ability to play every snap Sunday likely indicates that it isn't a significant issue. He'll have two more practices to increase his activity ahead of this coming Sunday's matchup with the Jets.

Phenomenal in win

Crosby recorded eight total tackles (six solo), including three tackles for loss and three sacks in Sunday's 30-6 win over the Giants.

Analysis: Crosby had his most productive game of the year this past Sunday, as he logged season-highs in both sacks and total tackles (tying Weeks 4 and 8). The All-Pro remains second on Las Vegas in total tackles, trailing only Robert Spillane, and he's now tied for second in the NFL in sacks with T.J. Watt and Myles Garrett. He'll go up against a Jets offensive line that's allowed the third-most sacks in the league Sunday night.

Dominant in loss again

Crosby logged eight tackles (five solo) while also forcing and recovering a fumble in Las Vegas' 26-14 loss to the Lions on Monday.

Analysis: Crosby had another huge performance in Monday's loss, making one of the night's biggest plays when he ripped the ball away from Amon-Ra St. Brown at the goal line. The 2019 fourth-round pick now has 48 tackles (29 solo), with 6.5 sacks, and is currently on pace to set new career highs in both categories.

All ready for Monday

Crosby (knee) does not carry an injury designation into Monday's game against the Lions, Anthony Galaviz of The Fresno Bee reports.

Analysis: Despite being listed as a limited participant in practice all week, the All-Pro pass rusher doesn't appear like he'll miss any time. Crosby is on pace to set a career high in sacks with a whopping 6.5 through seven games, but he's been a complete game wreaker even without taking the quarterback down, as he's near the league lead in pressures and tackles for a loss among defensive lineman.

Gets another sack at Chicago

Crosby recorded five tackles (two solo) including a sack in Sunday's 30-12 loss at the Bears.

Analysis: Crosby maintained his standing as one of the most productive pass-rushers in football in Week 7, working from outside to in to chase down rookie quarterback Tyson Bagent and registering in the sack column for the fifth consecutive week. He'll get a stiff challenge from one of the best offensive lines in the league in Week 8 at the Lions.

Dominant in win

Crosby recorded seven tackles (four solo), including half a sack and one pass deflection in Sunday's 21-17 win over the Patriots.

Analysis: Crosby was tied with Robert Spillane and Divine Deablo for Las Vegas' leading tackler this past Sunday. He continues to get after the quarterback, as he's now logged 5.5 sacks through six games. The 26-year-old leads the Raiders in sacks and tackles for loss this season, and his relentlessness will allow him to continue wreaking havoc as the year goes on.

Gets another sack

Crosby tallied five tackles (four solo) and one sack in the Raiders' 17-13 victory over the Packers in Week 5.

Analysis: Crosby is now up to five sacks through five games and has recorded at least one in three straight contests. The defensive linchpin was also on the field for all 57 snaps, which marks his first time reaching that feat this year. He is now set to begin preparing for the Patriots in Week 6.

All clear for Monday

Crosby (knee) does not carry an injury designation into Monday's matchup against the Packers, Anthony Galaviz of The Fresno Bee reports.

Analysis: The premier pass rusher is set to go despite practicing in limited fashion all week. The Packers offensive line will return two starters from injury, but it's still been a shaky start to the season for a unit that is typically good at stopping opposing pass rushers. Crosby already has four sacks through four outings and has also been one of the better run-stopping ends in the early portions of the season.

Still limited by injury

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

Analysis: Crosby's practice status was affected by the injury last week as well, but the 26-year-old still played Sunday against the Chargers and was effective while doing so, notching eight tackles, including two sacks. With the Raiders not playing until Monday against the Packers, Crosby will have an extra day to prepare, and his practice status Friday and Saturday will likely be worth monitoring. However, after playing through the injury in Week 4, it would seem unlikely that Crosby wouldn't suit up…read more

Notches two sacks

Crosby registered eight tackles (five solo) including two sacks during Las Vegas' 24-17 loss to the Chargers on Sunday.

Analysis: Crosby had his best game of the 2023 campaign so far, leading the team in tackles and recording his first multi-sack game of the year, bringing his total count to four. The 26-year-old is currently on pace to finish with a career high 17 sacks and will look to add to that total against the Packers on Monday.

Ready to go for Week 4

Crosby (knee) is officially active for Sunday's matchup with the Chargers.

Analysis: Crosby was able to log a full practice Friday and he is now set to play in Week 4. The defensive end has recorded 15 tackles, including two sacks, over the team's first three games of the year.

Status up in air for Sunday

Crosby (knee) is officially questionable for Sunday's game against the Chargers.

Analysis: Crosby bounced back from a DNP Thursday with a full practice to close out the week. His status Sunday will likely depend on how he is feeling closer to kickoff. Tyree Wilson would be the likely candidate to replace Crosby at defensive end if he cannot give it a go.

Downgraded to DNP on Thursday

Crosby (knee) did not participate in Thursday's practice, Vincent Bonsignore of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.

Analysis: It's a downgrade for Crosby after he was limited Wednesday, so this bears watching Friday and into the weekend. The potential of Crosby being out against Justin Herbert and the Chargers would definitely be felt Sunday if he can't go.

Limited in practice Wednesday

Crosby (knee) was limited in Wednesday's practice, Vincent Bonsignore of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.

Analysis: It's a new issue for the star edge rusher, and we'll have to note his participation levels the remainder of the week ahead of Sunday's Week 4 date with the division rival Chargers. Crosby has 15 tackles and a pair of sacks through three games.

Logs sack in loss

Crosby recorded three tackles (one solo) and one sack in Sunday's 23-18 loss to the Steelers.

Analysis: Besides his sack, which brought his total up to two on the year, Crosby was relatively quiet. His low production came even though he was on the field for 57 defensive snaps (95 percent) plus five on special teams (17 percent). He will look to get more active in Week 4 when the Raiders take on the Chargers.

Decent showing in blowout loss

Crosby recorded seven tackles in Sunday's 38-10 loss at Buffalo.

Analysis: In a game where Las Vegas as a whole struggled to do pretty much anything, Crosby wasn't able to get to the quarterback as a pass rusher. However, he did partially make up for that in IDP leagues by posting a solid tackle total. Game script should be a bit more favorable in Week 3 when Crosby and the Raiders host Pittsburgh.

Records sack in Week 1 victory

Crosby notched five tackles (two solo), including a sack, in Sunday's 17-16 win over the Broncos.

Analysis: Crosby's first-down sack just past the midway point of the second quarter ultimately helped stall a Broncos drive, as they were forced to punt three plays later. Crosby will steer the Raiders' pass rush again in Week 2 versus the Bills, while fellow defensive end Chandler Jones (personal) possibly remains away from the team.

Headed back to Pro Bowl

Crosby racked up five tackles (three solo) and a sack in the Raiders' season finale against the Chiefs, finishing his 2022 campaign with 89 total tackles (58 solo), 12.5 sacks, four passes defensed and three forced fumbles in 17 games.

Analysis: Crosby earned his second consecutive Pro Bowl nod on the back of his 12.5-sack output, though he also beat his previous single-season high of 56 tackles by 33 takedowns in 2022. The Eastern Michigan product signed a four-year extension with Las Vegas last offseason, so he's slated to remain a leader on this defense in 2023.

Adds 1.5 sacks Sunday

Crosby recorded four tackles (three solo) and 1.5 sacks during Sunday's 40-34 overtime win over the Seahawks.

Analysis: Being one of the few defensive linemen in the league who can play every defensive snap, not to mention in an overtime game, Crosby logged 1.5 sacks in Week 12 and now has 4.5 across his last four contests. The 25-year-old is well on track to make his second consecutive Pro-Bowl appearance, as he's already collected career highs in both tackles (67) and sacks (10.5) in just 11 games played.

Two sacks in overtime win

Crosby recorded six tackles (five solo), including two sacks, and one forced fumble during Sunday's 22-16 overtime win against the Broncos.

Analysis: Crosby notched two of the Raiders' three sacks on quarterback Russell Wilson, marking his third multi-sack outing of the season. After forcing a fumble that was recovered by the Broncos in the second quarter, the Pro Bowl defensive end blocked Denver's ensuring field-goal attempt to end the first half. Crosby has been a star in Las Vegas' leaky defense this season, recording a career-high 63 tackles to go along with nine sacks and two passes defended through 10 games. The ascending pass rusher…read more

Team-high 10 tackles in loss

Crosby recorded 10 tackles (four solo), including one sack, during Sunday's 25-20 defeat versus the Colts.

Analysis: With linebackers Denzel Perryman (hip) inactive and Divine Deablo (forearm) on IR, Crosby logged double-digit stops for the first time since the team's season opener. The star pass rusher also logged his first sack since Week 5, increasing his season total to seven through nine games. Crosby could continue to put up big tackling numbers if Perryman remains sidelined against Denver this coming Sunday.

Seven tackles Week 8

Crosby recorded seven tackles (five solo) in a 24-0 loss to the Saints on Sunday.

Analysis: Crosby has now played at least 90 percent of the Raiders' defensive snaps in all seven games this season. The pass rusher accumulated six sacks over the first five weeks, though he did not manage to bring down the opposing quarterback for the second game in a row Sunday. Crosby should have a strong opportunity to add to his sack total during the Week 9 contest against the Jaguars.

Pair of sacks in Week 5

Crosby recorded four tackles, including two sacks, during Monday's 30-29 loss to the Chiefs.

Analysis: Crosby's two sacks Monday against Kansas City now gives him six on the season, which is good enough for a first-place tie in that category across the league. The 25-year-old pass rusher played 90 percent of the team's defensive snaps in Week 5, and his next chance to wreak havoc on opposing QBs comes in Week 7 against the Texans following the Raiders' Week 6 bye.

Two more sacks in win

Crosby recorded four solo tackles and two sacks during Sunday's 32-23 win over the Broncos.

Analysis: Crosby's first sack of the contest came on a third-and-three play on the Broncos' first offensive possession of the second half and forced a punt. On Denver's next drive, the defensive end got after Russell Wilson on a second-and-nine play and took him down for a nine-yard loss. Across four games, Crosby has totaled 27 tackles and four sacks, putting him firmly in the Defensive Player of the Year conversation. He'll look to maintain his stellar play during Monday's divisional clash with Kansas…read more

Back-to-back games with sack

Crosby tallied nine tackles (five solo), one sack, one forced fumble and one pass defense during Sunday's 24-22 loss to the Titans.

Analysis: Crosby started off the contest by taking down Derrick Henry in the backfield on the first play of the game and ended up pacing the Raiders in tackles. He also strip-sacked Ryan Tannehill in the fourth quarter, but the Titans were able to recover. Across three games, Crosby has totaled 23 tackles, two sacks, one pass defense and one forced fumble.

First QB takedown of 2022

Crosby recorded four tackles (one solo) and one sack during Sunday's 29-23 loss to the Cardinals.

Analysis: Crosby sacked Kyler Murray for a seven-yard loss on a second-and-seven during the Cardinals' first offensive possession. The drive ended with an Arizona punt, but Crosby was limited for the rest of the contest. The 2019 fourth-round pick signed a four-year extension with the Raiders this offseason after totaling 25 sacks through his first three seasons with Las Vegas.

Inks lucrative extension

Crosby has signed a four-year extension with the Raiders, ESPN's Paul Gutierrez reports.

Analysis: Per the report, the ascending edge rusher's new deal is for $98.98 million, with $95 million in new money and $53 million guaranteed. The 2019 fourth-rounder is coming off a 2021 season in which he notched 56 tackles and eight sacks in 17 games, an effort that landed the 24-year-old Crosby in the Pro Bowl.

Ends regular season with big game

Crosby recorded season highs in tackles (seven) and passes defensed (three) while collecting two sacks Sunday in the Raiders' 35-32 overtime win over the Chargers.

Analysis: The third-year defensive end's disruptive game had a major hand in the Raiders' victory, which earned him AFC Defensive Player of the Week honors and allowed Las Vegas to punch its ticket to the postseason. He suited up in all 17 regular-season contests, notching eight sacks to go with a career-high 55 stops. Las Vegas will likely need Crosby to put consistent pressure on quarterback Joe Burrow in Saturday's wild-card round game in Cincinnati if the Raiders are to avenge their 32-13 loss to the…read more

Practices in full Wednesday

Crosby (calf) was a full participant in practice Wednesday, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

Analysis: Crosby was limited in practice Tuesday, so a bump up to a full practice Wednesday should put him in the clear to compete Saturday against the Browns. The third-year pro has 39 tackles (21 solo), five sacks and four passes defensed on the season.

Listed as limited with calf injury

Crosby (calf) was listed as a limited participant on Monday's practice estimate, Vic Tafur of The Athletic reports.

Analysis: Crosby will likely play Saturday against the Browns. The third-year pro hasn't recorded a sack since Week 6, and his five sacks on the season have come in just two games. Nonetheless, the defensive end has played at least 68 percent of the Raiders' defensive snaps in every game this year and produces solid enough tackling numbers to be worthy of consideration in deeper IDP leagues.

Tallies three sacks in win

Crosby racked up six tackles (two solo), three sacks and a pass defensed in Sunday's 34-24 win over the Broncos.

Analysis: Crosby posted his second multi-sack performance of the season Sunday, bringing his sack total to five through the first six weeks. A matchup against the Eagles and a mobile Jalen Hurts awaits in Week 7.

Disruptive in opener

Crosby posted six tackles (four solo) and two sacks in Monday's 33-27 overtime win against the Ravens.

Analysis: Crosby had Lamar Jackson's number in Week 1, accounting for two of the Raiders' three sacks. More importantly for fantasy purposes, Crosby logged a 91 percent snap share, though that could be partly because Yannick Ngakoue (hamstring) left early. Regardless, Crosby has the chops to be a weekly IDP contributor.

Full speed ahead

Crosby (shoulder/hand) was a full participant during OTAs and will be ready for training camp, Vincent Bonsignore of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.

Analysis: Crosby started all 16 games in 2020 while playing through labrum and hand injuries, and he still managed to produce 39 tackles, seven sacks and a pass breakup. The 2019 fourth-round pick has accrued 17 sacks through his first two NFL seasons. He'll face competition in training camp this year after the addition of Yannick Ngakoue -- who has recorded at least eight sacks in each of his five NFL seasons -- in free agency.

Recovering from two surgeries

Crosby recently underwent shoulder and hand surgeries, as he announced via his official Twitter account.

Analysis: Crosby started a full 16-game slate in 2020 despite dealing with labrum and hand injuries, and he's now facing a four-month recovery timetable after undergoing procedures to address those issues. That should provide the standout defensive end with plenty of time to get fully healthy for the start of the 2021 campaign. Through two seasons with the Raiders, the 2019 fourth-round pick has racked up 17 sacks.

Four sacks in three games

Crosby recorded two tackles and a sack in Sunday's 40-32 win over the Chiefs.

Analysis: After failing to record a sack through the first two games of the season, Crosby has been on fire with four sacks through three games. He added to QB hits Sunday as well, making Patrick Mahomes uncharacteristically uncomfortable. No other Raiders player has more than one sack this year, and 2019 first-round pick Clelin Ferrell has yet to take down the quarterback this year.

Records third sack

Crosby had a sack during Sunday's 30-23 loss to the Bills.

Analysis: Crosby led the Raiders' defensive linemen with 47 defensive snaps, but his fourth-quarter sack was his only tackle of the contest. The 23-year-old has three sacks and only seven tackles through four games.

Collects two sacks in Week 3

Crosby made his two solo tackles count against the Patriots on Sunday, with both going for sacks during the 36-20 loss.

Analysis: Crosby failed to reach the quarterback in either of the Raiders' first two contests of the 2020 season following a rookie campaign in which he racked up 10 sacks, but the Eastern Michigan product certainly got back on track at New England in Week 3. He'll now face a versatile Josh Allen and the 3-0 Bills at home.

Activated from COVID-19 list

Crosby has been activated from the Raiders' reserve/COVID-19 list, Adam Hill of The Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.

Analysis: Crosby, who paced the Raiders with 10 sacks as a rookie last season, went on the list back on Aug. 6, but he was able to participate in practice Friday. The 2019 fourth-rounder is thus slated to work as a starting defensive end and reprise his status as the team's top pass rusher this coming season.

Lands on COVID-19 list

Crosby has been placed on the Raiders' reserve/COVID-19 listPaul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: Crosby, a fourth-round draft pick out of Eastern Michigan last year, made quite a splash as a rookie, totaling 47 tackles and 10 sacks.The 6-foot-5, 255-pounder is slated to man a starting defensive end slot for the Raiders in 2020.

Stacks up 10 stops in 2019

Crosby posted 47 tackles, 10 sacks, four pass breakups and four forced fumbles over 16 games in 2019.

Analysis: The Raiders expended a first-round pick on Clelin Ferrell, but it was Crosby who led the team in sacks in his rookie campaign. The fourth-round pick also posted 31 quarterback pressures. It'll be tough to repeat those marks in his sophomore campaign, but he's in line for a starting role again in 2020.

Adds another sack Sunday

Crosby recorded one sack in Sunday's 20-16 loss to the Jaguars.

Analysis: Crosby has racked up 8.5 sacks over the Raiders' past 10 contests, leading the Raiders in this pass-rushing metric along the way. The Eastern Michigan product will look to reach the double-digit mark in sacks during a Week 16 matchup against the Chargers.

Takes down Darnold

Crosby accumulated four tackles (three solo) and a sack in Sunday's loss to the Jets.

Analysis: Coming off an outstanding four-sack performance last week, Crosby got to the quarterback again, moving his season total to 7.5. He also played 84 percent of defensive snaps in the game, evidencing he has a clear role in the defense. Crosby will likely be relied upon heavily in Sunday's critical matchup against the Chiefs.

Four sacks against Bengals

Crosby generated five tackles, four sacks and one forced fumble during Sunday's 17-10 victory over the Bengals.

Analysis: Crosby has been pretty impressive as a fourth-round rookie who missed almost the entire preseason, but this sort of defensive explosion dropped jaws and more than doubled Crosby's previous career sack total (2.5). While the Eastern Michigan product gets another soft matchup against the Jets in Week 12, don't expect another four-sack outing.
