Raiders QB Aidan O'Connell sustains thumb injury; Gardner Minshew enters vs. Rams
Briefly

The Las Vegas Raiders are facing yet another quarterback uncertainty as starter Aidan O'Connell suffered a broken thumb, leaving them in a dire situation for the matchup against the Los Angeles Rams.
O'Connell's injury occurred after he struck his hand on Rams safety Kam Curl's helmet, raising concerns over the team's quarterback depth with no designated third QB available.
Before his injury, O'Connell had a tough game last week, completing 67.5% of his passes with a touchdown and an interception, indicating the challenges the Raiders faced transitioning to him as their starter.
With O'Connell likely sidelined, the Raiders' already tumultuous season takes a further hit, compounded by the fact their emergency quarterback is also inactive due to injury.
