Raiders’ Crosby Expected to Play Against Broncos Amid Trade Rumors

Denver, Colorado — Despite a challenging start to the season with a 2-6 record, the Las Vegas Raiders are gearing up to face the Denver Broncos tonight. Star defensive end Maxx Crosby, who has recently battled knee and back injuries, is expected to play in the crucial matchup.

The game kicks off at 8:15 p.m. ET at Empower Field and can be viewed on CBS and Amazon Prime Video. All eyes will be on Crosby, as fans speculate about his future following a cryptic message he posted on X, prompting trade rumors.

So far this season, the Raiders have only managed to secure wins against the Tennessee Titans and the New England Patriots. However, they have suffered defeats against well-favored teams including the Kansas City Chiefs and the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Crosby’s health has been a focal point for the Raiders, especially after he left the game against the Chiefs due to a knee injury. Fortunately, he made a quick recovery, returning to play against the Jaguars despite the team’s defeat.

In his recent post, Crosby expressed love for his fans, saying, “Raider Nation I Love Yall With Everything In My Heart & Soul. Yall Deserve Better. Stay As One, It Will Change. 🦅🖤.” This message has left many fans contemplating whether it indicates an imminent trade.

While Crosby is set to play, the Raiders will be without quarterback Aidan O’Connell tonight due to a right wrist injury. Additionally, players Lonnie Johnson, Isaiah Pola-Mao, and Adam Butler are listed as questionable due to various injuries.

The stage is set for a night filled with excitement and uncertainty as the Raiders battle the division-leading Broncos.
