Las Vegas Raiders defensive end Maxx Crosby had surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his left knee at the beginning of January. On Friday, Feb. 27, Crosby shared an update on his rehab via the video posted on social media seen below, where the five-time Pro Bowler announced that he no longer needs crutches and is back to shooting hoops on the basketball court.
This is the injury that stirred up drama at the end of the season, with the Raiders shutting Crosby down for the last two games despite his desire to continue playing. That has led to plenty of trade rumors over the last few months, and that continued this week during the NFL Combine. In Indianapolis, NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero said on “The Rich Eisen Show” that there “is a world” where Crosby gets traded in the next seven to ten days.
That raises the question: Is the video above Maxx’s way of telling the Raiders and Raider Nation that he’s one step closer to being 100 percent, or to show other teams and potential trade suitors that his rehab is going well? We’ll have to wait and find out, but we could be getting an answer soon.
