Crosby's knee injury is serious enough that he requires knee surgery, according to an ESPN report.
"After deliberate and thorough consultation with multiple top medical professionals, it became clear that this decision is in the best interest of both the franchise and the player," the Raiders said in a statement. "Maxx is the ultimate warrior, and he has fought extremely hard to compete each week with his teammates since injuring his knee mid-season. We are grateful for his extraordinary contributions.

Crosby received his fifth consecutive Pro Bowl nod earlier this week. He has amassed 73 tackles, 20 quarterback hits, 10 sacks, two forced fumbles and his first career interception in 15 games.

"Yeah, I don't give a s- about the pick," Crosby said earlier this week. "I don't play for that. My job is to be the best defensive end in the world. That's what I focus on every day - and being a leader and a great influence."
