Las Vegas Raiders star pass rusher Maxx Crosby is expected to undergo arthroscopic ankle surgery that is expected to end his season, according to a report from ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Crosby initially injured his ankle in Week 2 against the Baltimore Ravens but has been playing through the ailment throughout much of the season. Prior to this season, Crosby had not missed a single game in his five prior years as a pro. In 12 games this year, he has recorded 45 combined tackles, 17 tackles for loss and 7.5 sacks.

Crosby is scheduled to have the ankle procedure on Monday, and may need a second surgery depending on the results of the first. Doctors are under the impression that Crosby's injury could be worse than originally thought.

The Raiders are 2-11 this season, and have already been eliminated from postseason contention.
