The Las Vegas Raiders have struggled mightily during the 2024 season, and now the team has lost two of its stars. Defensive end Maxx Crosby and running back Sincere McCormick have both been placed on injured reserve, ending both of their 2024 seasons.
Crosby suffered an ankle injury in Week 2, that was aggravated in Week 14. Due to the aggravation, he has now been placed on IR.
“As much as this pains me to write, I will not be playing the rest of the season,” Crosby. “Second time this year getting rolled up on the same ankle and now it will require surgery. As much as it pains me to not go to war with my brothers and for the fans, I truly believe everything happens for a reason. I have absolutely zero regrets with my process, my approach and my discipline to this game.
McCormick also suffered an ankle injury that will not sidelined him for the rest of 2024. Despite there being three games left, McCormick will have to heal up and prepare for 2025.
Crosby secured 7.5 sacks and 45 total tackles in 2024. This is far less production than in 2023 when he secured 14.5 sacks.
