Raiders "Counting" on Maxx Crosby Being Ready for Training Camp
The Las Vegas Raiders are "counting" on All-Pro pass-rusher Maxx Crosby (knee) being ready to go at training camp this summer as he continues to rehab from offseason knee surgery, according to Paul Gutierrez of ESPN. Head coach Klint Kubiak said he wouldn't be surprised if Crosby was ahead of schedule. Crosby was seen at OTA practice on Wednesday, although he only stretched with his teammates. He isn't expected to practice during OTAs and mandatory minicamp. "He's still the first one in this building every day, working. He's a leader on our team, and when he's out there, you feel his presence. And yes, we're counting on him being there for training camp, and I wouldn't be surprised if Maxx [is] ahead of schedule," Kubiak said. The 28-year-old wasn't happy about being shut down early last year despite dealing with a torn meniscus in his knee. The Raiders agreed to trade Crosby to Baltimore in early March, but the deal fell through, leaving him back in Sin City. As long as he doesn't suffer a setback in training camp, Crosby has a good chance to be ready for Week 1 on Sept. 13. He's still one of the league's best pass-rushers and will be expensive in IDP fantasy formats.
