Maxx Crosby Nears On-Field Return After Voided Ravens Trade

Limited work in voluntary OTAs signals steady rehab progress that could reshape the Raiders’ plans as contenders wait for game‑day proof of his knee.

Overview

  • Crosby is participating in calisthenics and limited drills at voluntary OTAs and says he is “almost there” in his recovery from a left‑knee meniscus repair while continuing team rehab.
  • A March trade that sent Crosby to the Baltimore Ravens was canceled after Baltimore cited concerns from his physical, leaving him back with the Raiders and the transaction officially voided.
  • Crosby has publicly said he wants to put trade rumors behind him and expressed renewed commitment to the Raiders and enthusiasm for new coach Klint Kubiak.
  • Teams and analysts remain cautious because Crosby has had multiple procedures in recent seasons and extremely high snap counts, which raises durable‑of‑play concerns that could limit near‑term trade demand.
  • The key next developments to watch are Crosby’s clearance for full, on‑field practice and his snap tolerance in training camp, since contenders will likely want live game evidence of knee health before making offers.
