The Las Vegas Raiders are preparing to host the Kansas City Chiefs. It will be an opportunity to re-enter the postseason picture by defeating a division foe and returning to 500 points.
All season, the defense has outperformed, ranking 13th in EPA per play and dominating at pass defense. Maxx Crosby is a player that is the heart and soul of the defense. According to PFF, he has 10.5 sacks this season and leads the league in pressures.
Crosby’s health is a concern heading into the week. Crosby has a knee problem that has him concerned following Friday’s practice. Most people thought he wouldn’t be able to play on Sunday.
Crosby, on the other hand, is struggling through his attempts to play. According to Ian Rapport of NFL.com, the former fourth-round pick will be the first player to suit up following a doubtful classification.
Against all odds, #Raiders Pro Bowl edge Maxx Crosby is pushing to play against the #Chiefs and there is a realistic chance he makes it happen, per me and @MikeGarafolo. Crosby is listed as doubtful with a knee injury. He'd be the first "doubtful" player to go this season. pic.twitter.com/fIRcdOhgzU

It would be amazing if Crosby demonstrated his tenacity on the field. It might energize the locker room if their leader is out with an injury.
