Raiders To Start Aidan O'Connell At Quarterback In Week 13
53 seconds agoLas Vegas Raiders quarterback Aidan O'Connell (thumb) will be named the starter ahead of Sunday's game against the Kansas City Chiefs, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. O'Connell is currently on injured reserve, but we previously heard that the Raiders would designate him to return on Tuesday. The young Purdue product has been sidelined since Week 7 but now takes over the reins of the offense from Gardner Minshew II and Desmond Ridder, who have both produced subpar results in their respective appearances. O'Connell hasn't fared a whole lot better, throwing for 455 yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions through four games. However, he gives the Raiders a new look under center and a chance to inject some life into Vegas' 2-9 squad.
