Raiders' Injury Woes Mount: Crosby Limited, Key Players Hurt

The Las Vegas Raiders experienced a significant increase in player injuries on Thursday, a stark contrast to their clean report the previous day. Star defensive end Maxx Crosby appeared on the injury report with a knee issue, limiting his participation in practice. This development adds to the team's existing challenges, particularly with a 2-8 record.

Further complicating matters, other critical players are also nursing injuries. Defensive tackle Jonah Laulu continues to be limited by a ribs injury, while Leki Fotu has a heel issue, and guard Dylan Parham is managing an Achilles injury, though he fully participated in practice. The offensive line, in particular, relies heavily on Parham's presence.

Crosby himself commented on the strength of the opposing Browns' defensive line, highlighting their talent. His insights come from a place of expertise, as he is considered one of the league's top defensive ends. The Raiders' ability to field a competitive team is increasingly being tested by these personnel issues.
