Injury news: Raiders DE Maxx Crosby, WR Davante Adams OUT vs Browns

In some shocking news, the Raiders will be without their top two players when they face the Browns on Sunday at Allegiant.

Raiders head coach Antonio Pierce announced before Friday’s practice that both DE Maxx Crosby and WR Davante Adams will not play Sunday.

Crosby was struggling with an ankle injury in the team’s loss to the Panthers last Sunday. Adams injured his hamstring in practice Thursday and it’s apparently severe enough to knock him out for the game.

Pierce also announced several other Raiders will be OUT as well including TE Michael Mayer (personal), Thayer Munford (ankle/knee), LB Divine Deablo (oblique). and CB DeCamerion Richardson (hamstring).

Crosby missing a game is certainly news. This will be the first game he’s missed in his career. So, either the Raiders are forcing him to sit or he’s really seriously hurt.

I asked Crosby after the game last Sunday how his ankle injury compared to the knee injury he played with last season, and he suggested his ankle injury was worse. Keep in mind that knee injury put him in the hospital.

Raiders, Saints Week 8 Wednesday injury report: Davante Adams, 3 others missing with illness

Davante Adams was one of four Raiders players to miss practice today with an illness.

It appears an illness has spread around the Raiders team this week. Four players missed practice Wednesday with illness, including WR Davante Adams.

The other three who were missing were S Johnathan Abram, DE Clelin Ferrell, and DE Tashawn Bower.

Illness usually doesn’t end up being something that keeps a player out of the game, especially this early in the week, but it’s something worth monitoring.

Only S Divine Deablo (back/ankle) was missing from practice due to injury.

Darren Waller was back at practice today just as Josh McDaniels said he would be. He was limited as he rehabs from his hamstring injury that had him OUT last Sunday against the Texans.

Others who were limited were QB Derek Carr (back), RB Josh Jacobs (foot), WR Hunter Renfrow (hip), WR DJ Turner (hamstring), and LB Jayon Brown (hamstring).

Missing for the Saints was WR Michael Thomas (foot), WR Jarvis Landry (ankle), TE Adam Trautman (ankle), and CB Marshon Lattimore (abdomen).
