Maxx Crosby Expected To Play In Week 15

11 months ago

Las Vegas Raiders defensive end Maxx Crosby (knee) has dealt with a knee injury for the last several weeks that has him listed as questionable to play on Thursday night against the division-rival Los Angeles Chargers, but he's expected to play in Week 15. Crosby, one of the best pass-rushers in the NFL, hasn't played 100 percent of the defensive snaps like he normally does the last few weeks as the Raiders try to manage his injury, but he did play 95 percent of the snaps in last week's loss to the Minnesota Vikings and had two sacks and seven solo tackles. The 26-year-old is now up to 13.5 sacks on the year and should be considered a must-start on Thursday night against a Chargers offense with quarterback Easton Stick making his first career start. Crosby had two sacks against the Bolts in their first meeting in Week 4.
