Raiders preparing to start Aidan O'Connell in wake of Gardner Minshew injury
“The Raiders are preparing to start Aidan O’Connell at QB on Friday against the Chiefs, per sources,” Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reported. “On IR since breaking his thumb in Week 7, O’Connell returned to practice Monday and got the first-team reps. As long as the week goes well, it’s AOC time again.”
