Aidan O'Connell, the quarterback for the Las Vegas Raiders, has been diagnosed with a bone bruise in his left knee after an MRI. He was carted off the field during a recent game against the Buccaneers but is not yet ruled out for Week 15. Head coach Antonio Pierce has indicated that Desmond Ridder is expected to start in the upcoming game, but O'Connell may still have a chance to play if he has a good week of practice. Previously, O'Connell had recovered from a broken thumb and was set to start in Week 13 against the Chiefs.

• O'Connell's injury is a bone bruise, which is a better outcome than initially feared.
• His potential return for Week 15 depends on his performance in practice.
