Raiders Maxx Crosby Punished His Palm Tree Working Out

Raiders defensive end Maxx Crosby cut it short with questions when asked about him and the Coronavirus.

Crosby, who was either contacted or was exposed to COVID-19, was placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Aug. 6 and returned to Raiders training camp last Friday.

"I feel fine, I'm perfectly fine, they're working with me," Crosby said in his first press conference since being reactivated . "I'm getting back. I would love to talk football, but I'm doing well, though, I appreciate y'all."

Last week, Clelin Ferrell mentioned Crosby was at home in quarantine with his dogs and jokingly talked about Crosby having a little palm tree that he was slapping down because he doesn't have any bags or workout gear around his house.

Well, that joke was real, Ferrell was not just kidding around.

Crosby, who was quarantined at home, was bored without any workout gear and had to find ways of getting his workouts done.

Creatively he managed to have a palm tree at home on which he trained and did not miss out on any training sessions.

"Yeah, I don't know if you can see my hands, I had splinters in my hands," Crosby said of his unusual home workout. "Literally I was stuck at home and I didn't have any bags or anything like that, so obviously shout out to the training staff, they brought me weights and stuff like that but all I had was a palm tree in the backyard."

Crosby, who led the Raiders with 10 sacks last season as a rookie, mentioned how he sent the team videos every day of his workouts and unique handwork workout with his palm tree at home.

"I was messing my hands up, and it was funny," Crosby added . "They gave me some grief about it and made fun of me, but I was getting, I was trying to get as much work in as I could because it wasn't easy."

It only shows how motivated and determined Crosby is in returning to camp and continuing where he left off as a football player.
