Prior to the 2023 season, the Green Bay Packers chose to split ways with their all-time top scorer. The experienced kicker had been with the Packers since the beginning of the 2007 season.
Crosby had made it apparent to the league all season that he would be available if a team needed a seasoned kicker. Crosby was signed to a contract by the Rams earlier this month, but he was released roughly a week later. On Friday, it was reported that he has signed a one-year contract with the New York Giants, who would be his second team this season. Unfortunately, news has emerged today that will result in a significant setback for the 39-year-old kicker.
Mason Crosby, a former Green Bay Packers kicker, suffered a severe injury while playing for the New York Giants.
Mason Crosby, a former Packers kicker who recently signed with the Giants, injured his quad during practice Thursday and will not play against the Eagles on Monday, according to several reports.
This is a crushing blow for a seasoned kicker who has been working hard all year to stay game-ready. Crosby declared before the season began that he would continue kicking sessions, demonstrating that he still had “it.”
Mason Crosby will always have a special place in Green Bay Packers fans’ hearts. He never looked back after taking up the kicking duties in 2007. Crosby rose to become one of the franchise’s most beloved players before departing in 2022.
Hopefully, he’ll be able to make an appearance before the end of the season.
