Maxx Crosby Posts Trampoline Photo, Basketball Videos After Raiders' IR Decision

Las Vegas Raiders defensive end Maxx Crosby will miss Sunday's game against the New York Giants with a knee injury, but he left it to fans to determine his status in some recent social media posts.

On Saturday, the five-time Pro Bowler shared two photos of himself jumping on a trampoline with his daughter along with a brief video in which he was playing basketball:

The Raiders announced Saturday they were placing Crosby on injured reserve.

"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," they said. "Maxx is the ultimate warrior, and he has fought extremely hard to compete each week with his teammates since injuring his knee mid-season."

Fox Sports' Jay Glazer reported Crosby "vehemently disagreed" with the IR designation, and head coach Pete Carroll confirmed he left the team facility upon learning the news.

Beyond affording Crosby time to heal his ailing knee, removing him from the equation indirectly boosts the Raiders' odds of landing the No. 1 pick in the 2026 NFL draft. Las Vegas and New York are tied for the NFL's worst record (2-13) so whoever loses on Sunday will have the inside track.

Not surprisingly, his team's draft position wasn't a big focus for Crosby heading into Week 17.

"Yeah, I don't give a s--t about the pick," he told reporters Tuesday. "I don't play for that."

This has fed plenty of speculation about Crosby's future. Trading the 28-year-old wouldn't be costly from the Raiders' perspective, and a pass-rusher with his resume would presumably have suitors.

Perhaps Crosby was basically trolling everyone by posting old photos/video to give the impression he was defying the Raiders. Otherwise, this wasn't exactly a subtle way to display his frustration.
