Raiders coach Antonio Pierce names Aidan O'Connell starting quarterback against Jaguars

Las Vegas Raiders head coach Antonio Pierce announced that Aidan O'Connell will start at quarterback against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday. O'Connell returns from a knee injury that sidelined him in Week 15. Previously, O'Connell was a third-string emergency backup during the Raiders' loss to the Atlanta Falcons. Desmond Ridder started in his place, completing 59% of his passes with two interceptions. This change marks a continuation of the Raiders' ongoing quarterback rotation this season. O'Connell's return aims to stabilize the team's performance as they head into Week 16.
