Maxx Crosby Rehabbing With Raiders, Expected Back by Training Camp

The Raiders say his recovery timeline positions him to return for camp, a development that will influence Las Vegas’ roster plans and league trade interest.

Overview

  • Crosby was present at the Raiders’ voluntary OTAs on Wednesday, May 20, 2026, where he stretched with teammates but did not take part in on‑field drills as he continues rehab from January meniscus surgery.
  • Head coach Klint Kubiak told reporters the team is “counting on” Crosby to be ready for training camp and praised his daily work and leadership at the facility.
  • A March trade that would have sent Crosby to the Baltimore Ravens was rescinded after Baltimore cited concerns from his physical, and Crosby returned to Las Vegas to continue rehabbing and meeting with the team.
  • League insiders now generally expect Crosby to begin the 2026 season with the Raiders, though executives say Las Vegas would still answer serious trade offers and media outlets have continued to surface hypothetical packages.
  • Analysts say the drawn‑out Crosby process had real ripple effects for other teams, with ESPN’s Bill Barnwell noting the Ravens’ delay may have helped cost them free‑agent moves such as Tyler Linderbaum, Isaiah Likely, and Charlie Kolar while Crosby works to reclaim his top form.
