Raiders rookie defensive end Keyron Crawford was placed on injured reserve during the cut to 53 players last weekend and head coach Klint Kubiak updated the nature of his injury on Wednesday.
Crawford was not given the designation to return when he went on injured reserve and Kubiak revealed that is because he suffered a season-ending Achilles injury. Crawford was injured in Las Vegas’s final preseason game.
Crawford was a third-round pick for the Raiders in the spring after playing at Arkansas State and Auburn during his college days.
Maxx Crosby, Malcolm Koonce, Kwity Paye, and Patrick Johnson are the defensive ends on the Raiders’ active roster heading into Week 1.
