Maxx Crosby's agent disputes medical concerns after Ravens back out of deal with Raiders

The Las Vegas Raiders traded Maxx Crosby to the Baltimore Ravens, and signed free agent C Tyler Linderbaum. Colin Cowherd praises the Raiders’ front office and discusses what these moves mean for Las Vegas.

The blockbuster trade for veteran NFL pass rusher Maxx Crosby unraveled almost as quickly as it materialized Tuesday, after reports surfaced that the Baltimore Ravens backed out when the Las Vegas Raiders star failed his physical.

But Crosby’s agent issued a statement after the Raiders’ confirmation suggesting otherwise.

CJ LaBoy, senior vice president at Wasserman, posted a statement on X stating that Crosby is "ahead of schedule" in his recovery process and is currently on track to return during the offseason.

"Maxx continues to be on track in his recovery and if anything is ahead of schedule according to his surgeon Dr Neal El Attrache," LaBoy’s statement read.  "Maxx remains on track to return during the offseason program & will undoubtedly return as the dominant game wrecker he has been these past 7 seasons." 

Crosby underwent surgery in January to repair a torn meniscus in his left knee, an injury that kept him sidelined during the final two games of the season. During an appearance on FOX Sports’ "The Herd with Colin Cowherd," Crosby said he was "ahead of schedule," a sentiment his agent echoed on Tuesday.
