The Las Vegas Raiders<\/a> defended their decision to place Maxx Crosby on injured reserve to end the defensive end\u2019s season as drama bubbled over his reaction and the team’s upcoming game against the New York Giants.<\/p>\n

The Raiders placed Crosby on IR, which FOX Sports reported led to him leaving the team\u2019s training complex.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Raiders wanted to shut the star defensive end down for the team\u2019s final two games of the regular season, but Crosby\u00a0“vehemently disagreed”<\/a>\u00a0with the idea and left.<\/p>\n

On Saturday, the Raiders said their decision was best for both the team and Crosby.<\/p>\n

“We have made the decision to place Maxx Crosby on the Reserve\/Injured list<\/a> for the remainder of the 2025 season,” the team said. “After deliberate and thorough consultation with multiple top medical professionals, it became clear that this decision is in the best interest of both the franchise and the player. Maxx is the ultimate warrior, and he has fought extremely hard to compete each week with his teammates since injuring his knee mid-season.<\/p>\n

“We are grateful for his extraordinary contributions. He is a true Raider on and off the field \u2014 we look forward to his leadership and toughness into 2026 and beyond.”<\/p>\n

The Raiders and Giants will meet in what will likely determine who gets the No.<\/a> 1 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. Both teams are 2-13 this season.<\/p>\n

Crosby was asked about the possibility of getting the top pick but didn\u2019t really seem to be concerned.<\/p>\n

“I don\u2019t play for that. My job is to be the best defensive end in the world,” Crosby told reporters Tuesday.<\/p>\n

“That\u2019s what I focus on every day. And being a great leader. And being an influence. And being that guy on a consistent basis for my team. The front office, the coaches, they do that. But that\u2019s got nothing to do with me. I\u2019ve learned that lesson in the past. You can\u2019t control everything. That\u2019s not my job description. My job is to be the best in the world at what I do.”<\/p>\n
