Aidan O'Connell has been placed on injured reserve due to a fractured thumb and is expected to miss four to six weeks, significantly impacting the Raiders' quarterback situation.
Head coach Antonio Pierce expressed concern about O'Connell's injury, stating, 'It hurts,' but remained hopeful for a positive prognosis after further tests were conducted.
With O'Connell out, the Raiders face a precarious situation as they lack a designated third quarterback, putting pressure on Gardner Minshew and the team’s depth.
Despite struggling in his first start against the Steelers, O'Connell had been recognized by the team as a competent option as their starter moving forward.
