Maxx Crosby and the Las Vegas Raiders will face the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday in Week 9.

Las Vegas enters with a 2-5 record, having beaten the New England Patriots and the Tennessee Titans.

Crosby has played a big role on the defensive side of the ball and has once again proven to be one of the best at his position in the NFL.

The defensive end has recorded 18 solo tackles, four sacks, one forced fumble and one interception.

Before facing the Jaguars, Crosby was listed on the injury report with a back injury. It's something he was dealing with coming into the Week 7 game against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Crosby then suffered a left knee injury in the second quarter of that game and was ruled out for the remainder of the contest. It turned out his knee was okay but the back injury remained an issue. He did not practice on Wednesday, was limited on Thursday and practiced in full on Friday.

Later on Friday, the Raiders announced an update to his status for Sunday's game. They left him off the injury report, meaning Crosby is good to go.

Crosby is in his seventh season in the NFL after the Raiders drafted him in 2019.

He's a two-time second-team All-Pro and four-time Pro Bowler.

Kickoff between the Raiders and the Jaguars is scheduled for 4:05 p.m. ET.
