Crosby admits, though, that the chip might be a bit bigger than in past seasons.<\/p>\n<p>The Ravens agreed to trade for him before reneging because of long-term concerns about Crosby\u2019s surgically repaired left knee. He missed two games last season to undergo surgery to repair a torn meniscus.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOf course, <a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/7478526\/2026\/07\/29\/las-vegas-raiders-training-camp-practice-report\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">there\u2019s added motivation<\/a>,\u201d Crosby said, via Sam Warren of TheAthletic.com. \u201cIt\u2019s beautiful at the same time. I love being doubted. I love being told I can\u2019t do something because I\u2019ll go to the end of the world to make it happen.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Crosby fully participated in the Raiders\u2019 opening training camp practice after spending the offseason program rehabbing. Thus, Wednesday marked his first practice since December.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a blessing, man,\u201d Crosby said. \u201cI love this game. I heard all the noise and all those things, but everyone knows that when my back\u2019s against the wall, that\u2019s when I\u2019m at my best. I love the pressure. That\u2019s what I live and thrive on. It\u2019s just added points and gives me a little more reason to go out there and whoop ass.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Maxx Crosby has a chip on his shoulder, but the Raiders pass rusher says it\u2019s always there \u201cno&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":792429,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[349,99],"class_list":["post-792428","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-nfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/792428","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=792428"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/792428\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/792429"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=792428"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=792428"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=792428"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
