Gardner Minshew replaces injured Raiders QB Aidan O’Connell vs. Rams
Gardner Minshew is back at quarterback for the Las Vegas Raiders.
Starting Raiders quarterback Aidan O’Connell left Sunday’s game against the Los Angeles Rams with a thumb injury on Las Vegas’ second drive of the game. Rams safety Kamren Curl made contact with O’Connell’s throwing hand as O’Connell followed through on a pass on third-and-21.
The play did not produce a first down. O’Connell appeared to be in pain as he and the Raiders offense left the field. Trainers looked at O’Connell’s hand on the sideline before O’Connell left the field for the locker room. Minshew replaced O’Connell at quarterback on the ensuing Las Vegas possession.
The Raiders later announced that O’Connell was questionable to return with a thumb injury.
