Raiders' Aidan O'Connell: Emergency QB3 for Week 13
O'Connell (coach's decision) is inactive but will serve as the Raiders' emergency third quarterback against the Chargers on Sunday.
For a second straight week, O'Connell will be the Raiders' QB3 behind Geno Smith and Kenny Pickett. As the emergency quarterback, O'Connell is not allowed to play Sunday unless both Smith and Pickett were to leave the game due to injury, illness or ejection.

Raiders' Aidan O'Connell: Emergency No. 3 QB
O'Connell is the Raiders' inactive emergency third QB for Sunday's game against the Browns.
The Raiders activated O'Connell -- who had fractured his right wrist in August -- from injured reserve Wednesday. Now that he's available, however, O'Connell is currently behind both Geno Smith and Kenny Pickett in the Raiders' signal-caller pecking order.

Raiders' Aidan O'Connell: All clear for Week 12
O'Connell, who was activated off IR on Wednesday, does not have an injury designation for Sunday's matchup against Cleveland.
O'Connell will be eligible to play for the first time this season after spending the first 11 weeks of the campaign on IR while recovering from a fractured wrist. With that said, it's unclear what the Raiders plan to do at the quarterback position Sunday and beyond. Geno Smith is in line for another start, but it hasn't yet been clarified if O'Connell or Kenny Pickett will be the No. 2 QB against Cleveland this weekend. Beyond that, Smith has struggled this season, and the Raiders -- who enter Week 12 with a 2-8 record -- could eventually decide to give O'Connell and/or Pickett a look behind center in what has become a lost season.

Raiders' Aidan O'Connell: Activated from IR
The Raiders activated O'Connell (wrist) from injured reserve Wednesday.
O'Connell fractured his right wrist during the preseason and was out for more than two months before returning to practice at the end of October. Geno Smith's poor performance this season could open the door for O'Connell and/or Kenny Pickett to make starts down the stretch.

Raiders' Aidan O'Connell: Not ready to return
O'Connell (wrist) has been ruled out for Monday's game against Dallas, Anthony Galaviz of The Fresno Bee reports.
Despite being a full participant in practice all week, the Raiders will leave O'Connell on injured reserve for Week 11. His 21-day window to return from IR opened Oct. 29, and if he's not activated from IR before the window closes, he would be required to sit out for the entire 2025 season. Kenny Pickett will serve as Geno Smith's backup quarterback for Monday's home contest.

Raiders' Aidan O'Connell: Remaining on IR for Week 10
O'Connell (wrist) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Broncos.
O'Connell has been a full practice participant since his 21-day practice window opened Oct. 29, but the third-year pro is not quite ready to be activated from injured reserve. O'Connell is recovering from surgery to repair a fractured right wrist that he sustained during the preseason, but with the Raiders on a bye Week 11, he has a good shot at being available for Week 12 against the Cowboys on Monday, Nov. 17. Kenny Pickett will continue to serve as the Raiders' backup quarterback behind starter Geno Smith for as long as O'Connell is sidelined.

Raiders' Aidan O'Connell: Practices fully
O'Connell (wrist) practiced in full Wednesday, Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com reports.
O'Connell fractured his wrist late in the preseason and has been sidelined since. It's positive that he was immediately able to log a full practice, but he will still need to be activated from injured reserve before suiting up for game action.

Raiders' Aidan O'Connell: Practice window to open
The Raiders intend to designate O'Connell (wrist) for a return to practice from IR in Week 9, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
O'Connell has missed the entire regular season so far due to a right wrist fracture suffered in late August, but it sounds like Las Vegas will open his 21-day practice window as soon as Wednesday. Once healthy, O'Connell will provide the Raiders with a new No. 3 quarterback option behind Geno Smith and Kenny Pickett.
