Raiders Place RB Sincere McCormick on Injured Reserve

The Las Vegas Raiders have placed running back Sincere McCormick and defensive end Maxx Crosby on injured reserve, effectively ending their 2024 seasons due to ankle injuries. McCormick, who had shown promise with 183 rushing yards over five games, suffered his injury during a Week 15 loss to the Falcons, while Crosby’s injury was initially sustained in Week 2 and aggravated in Week 14, necessitating surgery. Both players were key contributors, and their absence leaves the Raiders with a depleted roster as they are already out of playoff contention. McCormick, who had two consecutive starts, is under contract through 2025, while Crosby expressed his disappointment about missing the rest of the season on Instagram. The Raiders will now rely on Alexander Mattison and Ameer Abdullah to lead the backfield for the remaining games. This development underscores the team's struggles during a challenging season.
