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, leading to his replacement by Gardner Minshew, who has struggled with turnovers this season. Minshew's performance against the Rams was particularly poor, contributing to the team's ongoing quarterback issues.
