Las Vegas Raiders Injury History & Analysis

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.

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.
