Gardner Minshew had a rough outing after stepping in for the injured Aidan O'Connell during the Raiders' 20-15 loss to the Rams. Completing only 15 of 34 passes for 154 yards with no touchdowns and three interceptions, Minshew's performance raises questions about his viability as a starter moving forward. With O'Connell likely facing a broken thumb, Minshew may be called upon again in Week 8 against the Chiefs, but his recent struggles could hinder his chances.
- Minshew's performance was disappointing, failing to capitalize on his opportunity.
- O'Connell's injury could lead to Minshew starting again, but confidence in him is low.
