The Las Vegas Raiders placed three-time Pro Bowl defensive end Maxx Crosby and rookie running back Sincere McCormick on injured reserve Wednesday.
The move was expected for Crosby, who underwent ankle surgery this week and could be looking at a second operation, according to a recent report.
McCormick was injured in the second quarter of Monday night’s 15-9 loss to the Atlanta Falcons.
In corresponding moves, the Raiders signed RB Chris Collier and DE Andre Carter II to the 53-man roster from the practice squad.
The 27-year-old Crosby first injured the ankle in Week 2 against the Baltimore Ravens and missed the first game of his career in Week 4. He aggravated the ankle in Week 14 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, leading to the decision to go under the knife.
Crosby finishes the season with 7.5 sacks, five passes defensed and 45 tackles in 12 games. He has 59.5 career sacks in 95 games (89 starts) since the Raiders selected him in the fourth round of the 2019 draft.
McCormick rushed for 183 yards in five games (two starts) for the Raiders as an undrafted free agent. He began the season on the team’s practice squad.
Also, the Raiders signed DE Ovie Oghoufo and RB Isaiah Spiller to the practice squad.
