Crosby did have a torn meniscus on his left knee which he had surgery in January to repair. I think two things can be true. The Raiders didn't want their best defensive player playing hurt on the knee anymore given the last two games were meaningless and they had their eyes on the 1st overall pick and shutting him down certainly wouldn't hurt their chances. I really don't have an issue with shutting down injured players when the schedule turns to meaningless games and it also opens the door for backups and rookies to get valuable experience.
