Maxx Crosby Returns to Raiders Training Camp After Knee Surgery
Edge rusher Maxx Crosby took part in his first full‑team practice at the Las Vegas Raiders training camp since December, marking his comeback after missing six months while recovering from a torn meniscus that ended his 2025 season. The Baltimore Ravens withdrew from a trade for Crosby in March because of concerns about his surgically repaired left knee, sending him back to Las Vegas.
Crosby, a five‑time Pro Bowler who leads the league with 133 tackles for loss and ranks among the top in sacks and quarterback hits, said the doubts fuel his motivation. He described difficulty bending his knee and sleeping, relying heavily on his wife Rachel for daily tasks. Raiders head coach Klink Kubiak cleared him to practice, and quarterback Kirk Cousins warned he must respect the red jersey that signals no‑contact for QBs during drills.
