Raiders to start QB Desmond Ridder against Falcons with Aidan O'Connell out
Briefly

"Ridder will be the third starter at the position for Las Vegas this season. Gardner Minshew II had previously started nine games before his injury, and Aidan O'Connell took over for four starts. With O'Connell sidelined, Ridder is set for his opportunity after being signed off Arizona's practice squad."
"Coach Antonio Pierce maintained all week that if O'Connell couldn't play, Ridder would be the one starting. O'Connell, who has thrown for 899 yards this season, missed three consecutive practices leading up to the game, thereby confirming Ridder's starting role for the matchup against his former team."
