He said he woke up one morning and almost passed out, describing himself as “literally bedridden.” Video posted to social media shows his left knee with significant swelling.
“Then I get a call that night and they’re like, ‘Okay, we need to go to the hospital in the morning. There’s- we found there’s bacteria in your f*****-‘ in my fluid,” Crosby said.
He said he had to meet several requirements to be able to play this past Sunday against Kansas City.
The Raiders listed Crosby as doubtful for the matchup but he ultimately was able to take the field, getting a sack in the team’s 31-17 loss to the Chiefs
Crosby was tight-lipped after the game, saying only that he had a “long week” and “battled a lot of things,” including a hospital visit.
