Maxx Crosby and Davante Adams were out for the Raiders in Week 4

The Raiders won't have their two best players on the field when they play the Browns on Sunday.

Defensive end Maxx Crosby and receiver Davante Adams were two of several players that head coach Antonio Pierce ruled out for Week 4 in his press conference on Friday.

Crosby is dealing with a severe ankle sprain and was unable to practice on Wednesday and Thursday. This will be the first game Crosby misses in his professional career, as he has appeared in 86 straight games since the Raiders selected him in the fourth round of the 2019 draft.

He has 3.0 sacks with five tackles for loss and five QB hits so far this season.

Adams suffered a hamstring injury during practice on Thursday.

“No, I don’t know (a schedule), I just know he’s out this week,” Pierce said. “But he’s a bit like Maxx. You have to give these guys something week after week – every day, really. You never know how they will react. They've been doing this for a long time in their careers. But all I know is he’ll be out this week.”

Adams leads the Raiders with 18 catches and 209 yards so far this season.

Additionally, Pierce has ruled out offensive tackle Thayer Munford (knee/ankle), linebacker Divine Deablo (oblique), cornerback Decamerion Richardson (hamstring) and tight end Michael Mayer (personal).
