Las Vegas Raiders star Maxx Crosby is “not happy” after the team decided to shut him down for the final two games of the season, FOX NFL insider Jay Glazer said Sunday.
Glazer relayed what Crosby told him on “FOX NFL Sunday” as the team prepares to face the New York Giants and the losing team will have a better chance at the No. 1 pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.

“Jay, I play football. This is what I do,” Glazer said Crosby told him. “I’ve had a knee injury since Week 3. I played with it all the time. They told me they were going to shut me down. I was like, ‘No, absolutely not.’ I play football. There’s no way to shut it down for me. I want to be out there. I want to be out there with my teammates.”
Glazer said the decision was simply “not acceptable” to Crosby.
Crosby posted a video to his Instagram Stories Saturday night playing basketball and jumping on a trampoline in what appeared to be a clear message directed at the franchise.

The Raiders defended their decision to place Crosby on injured reserve.
“We have made the decision to place Maxx Crosby on the Reserve/Injured list for the remainder of the 2025 season. After deliberate and thorough consultation with several top medical professionals, it was clear that this decision is in the best interest of the franchise and the player,” the team said. “Maxx is the ultimate warrior and has fought very hard to compete every week with his teammates since injuring his knee mid-season.
“We are grateful for his extraordinary contributions. He is a true Raider on and off the field; we look forward to his leadership and toughness in 2026 and beyond.”
