Las Vegas Raiders coach Antonio Pierce said Monday that quarterback Gardner Minshew is out for the rest of the season with a broken collarbone.

Last season, O'Connell started 10 games for the Raiders, replacing Jimmy Garoppolo. The former Purdue product threw for 2,218 yards with a 62.1% completion rate with 12 touchdowns to seven interceptions. O'Connell proved to be a serviceable starter last season, but the circumstances are vastly different this season.

“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.”
