LAS VEGAS — The Raiders have named Aidan O’Connell their starting quarterback for Sunday’s game against the Steelers. He replaces Gardner Minshew, who went 2-3 over the first five games of the season.
The plan, according to coach Antonio Pierce, is for O’Connell to be the starter the rest of the year.
O’Connell, a 2023 fourth-round pick, was the Raiders’ starter for the team’s final nine games last season. The team went 5-4 over that stretch. Pierce named O’Connell the starter after taking over for coach Josh McDaniels, who was fired Oct. 31.
