This year has been low of lows for the Raiders. After week 14, they have a 2-11 win-loss record. But things are slowly coming to light. Despite injury during most games, their DE Maxx Crosby persevered and continued playing. No more! It’s not possible, and he would not play any further games.
He revealed the situation to fans during a lengthy Instagram post. It was a shock to the fans too. But he started his post by writing, “As much as this pains me to write, I will not be playing the rest of the season. Second time this year getting rolled up on the same ankle and now it will require surgery.” Maxx Crosby would not play the remaining 4 games of the regular season, as they are already disqualified for the playoffs.

His injuries were a problem during the entire time he played. During the week 2 game against the Ravens, he hurt his ankle but just sat out one game and came back on the field for the team. During the week 14 game against the Buccaneers, his injury again flared as he wrote in his post, “Unfortunately, I got chopped blocked from the side and got another one, but even worse this time vs. Tampa.”
Fans were worried about his condition, but Maxx Crosby raised their moods as well. He claimed that he would never change his playing style and mentioned, “I will get this surgery & be on a war path for greatness everyday and be back the best version of myself.” It’s an emotional message to the team, fans, and the sport. Everyone is hoping that he successfully recovers back and comes back on the field.
