Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Aidan O'Connell is set to miss four to six weeks due to a broken thumb on his throwing hand. The injury occurred during a game against the Los Angeles Rams, where O'Connell was hit while attempting a pass. He completed 6 of 10 passes for 52 yards before leaving the game. Gardner Minshew, who was recently benched for O'Connell, replaced him but struggled significantly, throwing three interceptions and losing a fumble, leading to a career-low passer rating.
- Aidan O'Connell's injury is a significant blow to the Raiders' offense.
- Gardner Minshew's performance raises concerns about the team's quarterback depth.
