Crosby opened the week with back-to-back DNPs, but he returned to practice Friday as a limited participant, which is enough for him to avoid an injury tag. Crosby has accrued 5.5 sacks through five regular-season games, and he'll look to add to his total against Matthew Stafford on Sunday.

Rotowire
Crosby (ankle) is listed as questionable but is expected to play in Sunday's game against the Broncos, Dianna Russini of The Athletic reports.

Raiders' Maxx Crosby: Has chance to play vs. Denver
Rotowire
Crosby (ankle) was a limited participant in Friday's practice and is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Broncos, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.
Crosby sat out the Raiders' Week 4 win over the Browns, which was the first game he missed in his NFL career. It looked like he was in jeopardy of missing a second straight game after logging DNPs in the first two practices of the week. However, Crosby gave himself a shot at playing in Sunday's AFC West showdown after practicing in a limited capacity Friday. If Crosby cannot play Sunday, 2023 first-rounder Tyree Wilson would start at defensive end for a second straight game opposite Charles Snowden.

Raiders' Maxx Crosby: Status up in the air
Rotowire

Crosby missed the first game of his career this past Sunday, bringing an 86-game active streak to an end. The veteran pass rusher was unable to practice during Week 4 prep, so he'll likely need to get on the field in some capacity this week to have a chance to play against the Broncos this Sunday.

Raiders' Maxx Crosby: Doubtful for Week 4
Rotowire
Crosby (ankle) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's contest against the Browns, Rachel Gossen of the Raiders' official site reports.
Crosby's listing on the Raiders' final Week 4 injury report is an about face following comments from coach Antonio Pierce earlier Friday, when he ruled out the pass rusher for Sunday's game, per Levi Edwards of the team's official site. Still, a doubtful designation doesn't give Crosby much wiggle room to suit up this weekend, something that'll be clarified about 90 minutes before a 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff. With Malcolm Koonce (knee) out for the season and Crosby likely out Sunday, Las Vegas' pass rush will hinge on Janarius Robinson, Tyree Wilson and Charles Snowden.

Raiders' Maxx Crosby: Ruled out versus Cleveland
Rotowire
Crosby (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Browns, Levi Edwards of the Raiders' official site reports.
It will be Crosby's first missed game of his six-year career, snapping a streak of 86 consecutive contests. It's a mammoth loss for a Las Vegas defense lacking star power. With Malcolm Koonce (knee, IR) already done for the year, 2023 first-rounder Tyree Wilson is going to have to step up versus Cleveland. Janarius Robinson and Charles Snowden will also see expanded roles off the edge.

Raiders' Maxx Crosby: Earns raise
Rotowire
The Raiders reworked Crosby's contract Thursday to give him an additional $6 million in 2023 and $1.2 million in 2024, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
The reworked contract does not come with any additional years to Crosby's current contract. With Malcolm Koonce already in the mix and the signing of Christain Wilkins this offseason, the Raiders should have among the best defensive lines in the league in 2024.
