Las Vegas Raiders add Maxx Crosby, 2 others to Week 12 injury report ahead of Cleveland Browns matchup
After only listing defensive tackle Jonah Laulu (ribs) on the first injury report of Week 12, the Las Vegas Raiders added defensive end Maxx Crosby, defensive tackle Leki Fotu and guard Dylan Parham to Thursday’s report ahead of the matchup against the Cleveland Browns. Crosby is battling a knee injury, while Fotu has an issue with his heel and Parham is listed with an Achilles injury. The good news for the Raiders is that all four players, including Laulu, participated in practice. Laulu, Crosby and Fotu were all limited while Parham was a full participant. Barring a setback from Crosby, Sunday’s game will still feature two of the NFL’s best defensive ends, with the league’s sack leader, Myles Garrett, returning to full participation in practice on Thursday after a rest day earlier in the week. Guard Joel Bitonio, defensive tackle Maliek Collins and cornerback Denzel Ward were also listed as limited participants for rest on Wednesday but were upgraded for the team’s second practice of the week. Cleveland hasn’t had tight end David Njoku (knee) and defensive end Alex Wright (quad) at practice this week, though, as both missed Thursday’s session. Rookie quarterback Dillon Gabriel, who has been the team’s starter since Week 5, also hasn’t been on the practice field after suffering a concussion last Sunday. Head coach Kevin Stefanski announced previously that fellow rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders will be the Browns’ starter. #Raiders DE Maxx Crosby (knee) was added to the injury report.

Pete Carroll’s Las Vegas Raiders reminiscent of awful 2006 squad
Raise your hand if you remember the Art Shell-led 2006 Oakland Raiders. If your hand was shaking at the awful memory, I don’t blame you. That team featured Art Shell’s return to the coaching game after a 12-season hiatus — the 60-year-old last coached the Raiders back in 1994 — and then-owner Al Davis’ decision for Shell Game The Sequel was quite disastrous. Not only did Raider Nation get Shell 2.0, the coach brought back his old offensive coordinator Tom Walsh. Like the head coach, the play caller had a 12-year gap between the last time he coached the Silver & Black and operated a bed & breakfast during his time away from the coaching game. Hence, the “Bed & Breakfast” offense moniker, and oh boy, did that label stick — hard. Shell, Walsh, and the coaching staff steered the Raiders aground to a 2-14 overall record with the 32nd-ranked offense that scored a total of 168 points and 10.5 points per game average. The defense ended 18th allowing 332 points and an average of 20.8 points per game. Shell replaced Walsh with John Shoop (currently the head coach for the Nordic Storm of the European League of Football) in-season. Why bring this all up? The Pete Carroll 2025 Raiders are reminiscent of that awful 2006 squad. Both variants of the Silver & Black share the flat-lined offense and middling/lower echelon defense as characteristics. "We're going to win a ton. We're going to win a bunch of games."This Pete Carroll proclamation in July 2025 unfortunately may go on to live in #Raiders infamy. pic.twitter.com/SoJbFJ6HCG— Nick Walters (@nickwalt) November 19, 2025 At 2-8 overall, the current rendition of the Silver & Black are ranked 30th offensively with 155 total points and an average of 15.5 points per contest. Defensively, the team is 24th allowing a total of 253 points and an average of 25.3 points per contest through 10 games so far. But unlike their counterparts in Shell and Walsh, Carroll (the oldest head coach in league history at 74 years old) and Kelly didn’t have a dozen year gap between coaching stints. And this makes the Raiders performance thus far much worse. We can rail on the Raiders’ lack of talent, but we can’t ignore coaching as an issue, too. Offensive Offenses Despite having Shell and the accomplished Jackie Slater and Irv Eatman as co-offensive line coaches, the 2006 Raiders offensive line was atrocious. Combine that with Walsh’s antiquated concepts and play calling, the results were unsurprisingly unbearable. Through 11 games that year, the team scored a league-low 132 points and allowed a league-high 53 sacks. Aaron Brooks, who initially served as the starting quarterback, was running for his life as soon as he got the snap and was sacked 26 times in the eight games he played. He also finished with three touchdowns to eight interceptions before Andrew Walter took over. And, oh man, cement shoes Walter didn’t fare any better getting sacked 46 times (the Raiders finished the year allowing 72 total sacks) while throwing three touchdowns and a whopping 13 interceptions. In comparison, current Raiders starting quarterback Geno Smith absorbed 31 sack so far while tossing 12 touchdowns to a league-high (tie) 13 interceptions through 10 games. The leading rusher for Shell’s Raiders was Justin Fargas (178 carries for 559 yards and a touchdown) with LaMont Jordan adding 434 yards and two scores on 114 carries. Both yards per carry averages were paltry at 3.7 and 3.8, respectively. The leading receivers were Ronald Curry (62 catches for 727 yards and one touchdown) and a disgruntled Randy Moss (42 receptions for 553 yards and three touchdowns). Currently, rookie running back Ashton Jeanty leads the Raiders with 554 yards and four touchdowns on 149 carries (3.7 yards per attempt). Speedster wideout Tre Tucker leads receivers with 502 yards and five touchdowns on 38 receptions while tight end Brock Bowers totals 39 catches for 455 yards and a trio of touchdowns, in comparison. Shoot, there’s even an eerily similar…

How Bonnie Langford Convinced Bradley Walsh to Join the Ranks of Doctor Who Companions
Fourteen different actors have “officially” played Doctor Who’s famous Time Lord, even more if you count some of the ancillary figures like Jo Martin’s Fugitive Doctor, John Hurt’s War Doctor, or David Bradley, who took over the role of the First Doctor in the series’ modern era.
