Las Vegas Raiders star defensive end Maxx Crosby is officially on schedule to be ready for the regular-season opener following meniscus surgery, according to a report from Adam Schefter of ESPN.
Crosby is currently eight weeks removed from the surgical procedure. Per Dr. Neal ElAttrache, Crosby's surgeon who spoke with ESPN this morning, the defensive standout only recently moved off crutches last week. Despite the recent transition, medical staff and the Raiders organization are working to ensure he remains on his current recovery timeline to lead the defense in Week 1.
The update provides a significant boost for the Raiders' defensive front, as Crosby has established himself as one of the most durable and productive edge rushers in the NFL. The team is focusing on his rehabilitation progress over the coming months to ensure he is fully prepared for the start of the season without any setbacks.
