Maxx Crosby Updates Injury Rehab, Return to Raiders amid Fallout from Failed Ravens Trade

Even though the Baltimore Ravens had enough concerns about Maxx Crosby's knee to back out of their trade with the Las Vegas Raiders, the five-time Pro Bowler has no doubt about here he will be at physically by the time the 2026 season begins.

On Friday's episode of Good Morning Football, NFL Network analyst Gerald McCoy said Crosby told him he will be "200 percent ready" for the start of training camp and the "world will get the best version of 98 they've ever seen."

When it was announced on Tuesday that the Ravens weren't going through with their trade for Crosby, their reported reason was due to questions about his physical.

Crosby underwent knee surgery on Jan. 7, when he also promised a "200 percent recovery."

Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who performed the surgery on Crosby's knee, told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Wednesday that the star edge-rusher is "doing very well in the early part of his rehab" and the expectation is he will return "to his elite level of performance this season as planned and for several more to come."

Crosby has affirmed his commitment to the Raiders, though it's not out of the question they could reengage teams in trade talks at some point before the season begins.

While there has not been a set timeline from Crosby's camp about when he will be fully cleared to take part in football activities, ESPN's Stefania Bell noted the surgery he had can typically take up to six months for complete recovery.

If that timeframe holds true, Crosby would be cleared sometime in July. NFL training camps typically open in mid- to late-July.
