Las Vegas Raiders edge Maxx Crosby is expected to return for the team’s Week 5 matchup against against the Denver Broncos, a league source said Saturday.
Crosby missed the team’s Week 4 win over the Cleveland Browns with a high ankle sprain. It was his first missed game since entering the NFL in 2019.
Crosby practiced Friday and was in good spirits. He is the unquestioned leader of the team and will give the Raiders a nice anchor with the trade demand and pending departure of star receiver Davante Adams.
Crosby has three sacks on the year after putting up 14.5 last year and is a big reason why the Raiders have beaten the Broncos eight straight times. The 27-year-old captain also has 14 combined tackles through his first three games this season.
The Raiders enter their matchup against the Broncos at 2-2.
