The Raiders announced Tuesday that the Ravens have canceled the Maxx Crosby trade. ESPN reports that Baltimore rescinded its offer because of "medical concerns that arose during a physical."

The Raiders on Monday agreed to terms with a pair of free-agent LBs. First came former Eagles LB Nakobe Dean on a three-year, $30 million deal that includes $20 million in guarantees, according to multiple reports. Shortly after that came word that Vegas is adding former Packers LB Quay Walker. NFL Network reports tht he'll get $40.5 million over three years, with $28 million of that guaranteed.

New Raiders head coach Klint Kubiak elevated defensive line coach Rob Leonard to defensive coordinator. Leonard also served as defensive run game coordinator last season and now replaces Paul Guenther, who was dismissed in December. Leonard has coached the Raiders’ defensive line for three seasons and previously worked with the Giants, Dolphins, and Ravens.

The Raiders are officially placing Edge Maxx Crosby on IR, and he's expected to have surgery on the left knee he injured earlier this season. The procedure's expected to be minor and shouldn't affect his 2026 readiness.

Fox's Jay Glazer reports that the Raiders plan to shut Edge Maxx Crosby down for the season's final two games. Crosby -- who has been playing through at least a knee injury for a while -- reportedly does not like the team's decision.

Raiders Edge Maxx Crosby left Sunday's blowout loss to Kansas City in the second quarter with knee and back injuries. But neither issue was new, and it doesn't sound like he'll miss further time. Las Vegas gets a Week 8 bye before a home date with the Jaguars.

The Raiders have released LB Germaine Pratt. That's a less surprising development after he went from starter to healthy scratch in Week 5 and didn't even travel with the team to Indy. It's certainly noteworthy, however, just five games into the season after Vegas signed Pratt for a little more than $4 million in mid-June.

The Raiders made LB Germaine Pratt inactive for today's game against the Colts, despite no injury designation throughout the week. Unless there was some pregame injury that hasn't been widely reported yet, this looks like a healthy scratch and a signal Pratt's losing his starting gig. That should mean more playing time for LB Elandon Roberts -- and perhaps safety-turned-LB Jamal Adams -- with Devin White continuing to lead the group.

The Raiders have released DT Christian Wilkins amid a fight over how the player should address the foot injury that ended his 2024 season. Wilkins suffered a Jones fracture in his left foot early last season, had surgery, and missed the final 12 games. New HC Pete Carroll called the rehab process "challenging" in May but indicated that he believed there was time for Wilkins to get ready for the season (and that the DT remained in the team's plans). But Wilkins opened training camp on the physically unable to perform list, and it has now become clear that he and the team disagree on how to proceed with the recovery process. The dispute will continue beyond Wilkins' now-ended tenure because the Raiders are seeking to void $35.2 million in guaranteed money left on his deal.

The Raiders shed both starting LBs from last year, letting Robert Spillane and Divine Deablo both walk in free agency. Spillane dominated team tackles, while Deablo checked in just sixth, amid wavering playing time while he dealt with injuries. Vegas imported three lower-cost options to compete for the top two spots. Elandon Roberts signed first, with a one-year deal on March 13. Devin White followed at the end of March. But then the team added Germaine Pratt in June, after the Bengals released him.

The Packers have agreed to a four-year deal with CB Nate Hobbs. ESPN's Rob Demovsky reports that Hobbs will get "up to" $50 million with incentives and that $16 million comes as a signing bonus.

The Patriots have agreed to a three-year deal with LB Robert Spillane that will pay the former Raider more at least $10 million per year, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. Spillane spent the past two years as a full-time starter for the Raiders, after working mostly as a backup and special-teamer through four seasons with Pittsburgh and one in Tennessee

The Raiders have announced a new deal with S Isaiah Pola-Mao. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports it's a to a two-year deal worth up to $8.45 million. That keeps Pola-Mao from becoming a restricted free agent in March.

Raiders CB Nate Hobbs is inactive for today's game against the Jaguars because of illness.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that Raiders Edge Maxx Crosby needs arthroscopic surgery on the ankle injury that has already knocked him out for Week 15. Crosby's expected to miss the rest of the season.

The Raiders have ruled Edge Maxx Crosby out for Monday night's game against the Falcons because of an ankle injury. That likely means more playing time for Edge K'Lavon Chaisson, but no other Raider can come close to replacing Crosby's impact. His absence makes Vegas far less attractive as a sneaky DST play. We'll see about Crosby's status for Week 16.
