The Baltimore Ravens have reportedly backed out of a blockbuster trade for star pass rusher Maxx Crosby after medical concerns arose during his physical, according to @ryanmcfadden_.
The deal, which was set to be one of the most significant moves of the NFL season, collapsed late in the process after the Ravens training staff flagged issues during the mandatory medical examination. Crosby, a multi-time Pro Bowler currently with the Las Vegas Raiders, was expected to be the centerpiece of the Ravens defensive front for a postseason push.
Per reports, the trade was finalized between the two organizations pending the physical, but the discovery of these medical concerns led Baltimore to withdraw from the agreement. There has been no official word from either the Ravens or the Raiders regarding the specific nature of the medical issue that caused the transaction to fail.
Crosby remains on the Raiders roster as the NFL trade deadline approaches. This development leaves the Ravens searching for defensive help elsewhere as they pivot from what would have been a massive acquisition.
