Insider spells doom for Tom Brady’s team over Maxx Crosby’s viral basketball video amid knee surgery requirement


The Las Vegas Raiders have placed Maxx Crosby on the injured reserve ahead of their Week 16 game against the New York Giants. They then announced that Crosby will undergo knee surgery before the completion of the campaign.

However, controversy is rife with Maxx Crosby playing basketball and jumping on a trampoline. NFL insider Bobby Skinner sees Tom Brady’s Raiders risking punishment from the league.

“Raiders might lose multiple picks with this new evidence,” wrote Skinner on X (formerly Twitter) after viewing the video.

According to Yahoo Sports, Maxx Crosby is expected to undergo knee surgery in the near future that will sideline him into the offseason. However, further details regarding the surgery are yet to be revealed by the superstar defensive end or the Raiders.

Maxx Crosby isn’t the only Raiders Pro Bowler out for the season. Tight end Brock Bowers was placed on the IR on Wednesday because of a knee injury that saw him play just 12 games this season.

The Georgia Bulldogs product will finish the campaign with a stat line of 64 receptions, 680 receiving yards, and seven touchdowns. He earned his second straight Pro Bowl nod for his efforts.
