The Las Vegas Raiders put Maxx Crosby on injured reserve, shutting him down for the rest of the season as the team doesn't have anything to play for. Though it sounded like a good idea, Crosby was not a fan of the move, and he had let it be known for the past few days, storming out of the facility.

To start the week, it looks like things have changed , and Crosby is back in the building, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
Head coach Pete Carroll also said that he and Crosby are seeing eye to eye .
At first, they were not seeing eye to eye, as Carroll had shared why the team decided to put him on the shelf for the season.
"After an evaluation we did on Monday or Tuesday, it just looks too bad," Carroll said. "And so, he didn't take the news like that, and I didn't want to take the news like that. …He was talking about 'I like to get out of here.' And I said, 'yeah, get out of here.'"

"We've been talking about this for a couple of days. This didn't just spring on him. It was exactly like you would think he would do, and he should do, and I agree with him 1,000% on how he responded, and I responded the same way, and I get it."
Crosby is a competitor, so it makes sense that he didn't agree with the Raiders putting him on IR. At the same time, if the injury is something that needs to be addressed, then the team made the right decision, so he doesn't make things worse. It didn't seem like Crosby's injury wasn't that bad, as days later, he posted a video of himself playing basketball.
The Raiders have not had the season they expected, especially with the moves they made during the offseason. The best time to address any injuries would be now, and not make them any worse.
