Raiders' Aidan O'Connell: Back from knee injury
Aidan O'Connell (knee) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Paul Guteirrez of ESPN.com reports.O'Connell's ability to practice without limitations suggests he'll be healthy enough to suit up for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, barring a setback. His return under center is welcome news for top Las Vegas Raiders pass catchers Jakobi Meyers and Brock Bowers, who combined for only 94 receiving yards in Desmond Ridder's spot start during Monday's 15-9 loss to the Falcons.

Raiders' Aidan O'Connell: Trending toward Week 16 return
Las Vegas Raiders head coach Antonio Pierce said Tuesday that Aidan O'Connell (knee) is "trending upwards to play" Sunday against Jacksonville, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports.O'Connell was inactive for Monday's loss to the Falcons, but he was cleared to operate as Las Vegas' emergency third quarterback. Desmond Ridder struggled in his spot start versus Atlanta, throwing for 208 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions in. A return to the lineup on O'Connell's part could provide a spark to the Las Vegas offense, which would be especially notable for rookie tight end Brock Bowers, who was limited to three catches for 35 yards (on six targets) with Ridder under center Monday.

Raiders' Aidan O'Connell: Inactive, but emergency third QB
Aidan O'Connell (knee) is inactive for Monday night's game against the Falcons, but he's available as the Las Vegas Raiders' emergency third quarterback behind Desmond Ridder and Carter Bradley.O'Connell was deemed a non-participant in practice Thursday through Saturday and approached the contest listed as questionable, but the bone bruise to his left knee that he sustained during Week 14 action will end up sidelining the QB on Monday. In O'Connell's place, Ridder is in line to make his first start for the Raiders, while O'Connell will target a potential return to action this coming Sunday versus the Jaguars.

Raiders' Aidan O'Connell: Looks like game-time decision
Aidan O'Connell (knee) will use a pregame workout Monday to determine whether he'll play versus the Falcons, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.O'Connell didn't practice at all during the week due to a knee issue he picked up Week 14 at Tampa Bay, so Las Vegas is preparing as though 2022 third-rounder Desmond Ridder will start at quarterback Week 15. Whoever steps under center for the Las Vegas Raiders on Monday will be looking at an Atlanta defense that's been less than impressive so far this season, especially against the pass.

Raiders' Aidan O'Connell: No practice, still questionable
Aidan O'Connell (knee) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Falcons, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.O'Connell didn't practice all week, but the Las Vegas Raiders are evidently giving the second-year quarterback every avenue possible to return Monday from an injury, later discovered to be a bone bruise, that was so serious it required an MRI earlier in the week. In the event O'Connell can't play, Las Vegas would likely turn to Desmond Ridder against his former team. Expect more clarification regarding O'Connell's status to come before the 8:30 p.m. ET kickoff Monday.

Raiders' Aidan O'Connell: Slated to practice Wednesday
Las Vegas Raiders head coach Antonio Pierce said that Aidan O'Connell (knee) is in line to participate in Wednesday's walk-through practice, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.Though O'Connell's presence on the field in any capacity three days after suffering a bone bruise in his left knee in Sunday's loss to the Buccaneers is a positive indicator, Pierce wouldn't commit to the quarterback being available for the Raiders' Week 15 matchup with the Falcons on Monday night. Pierce noted that how O'Connell looks in practice this week will be the deciding factor in whether he starts this week, and if the second-year signal-caller isn't available to play, the Raiders would turn to Desmond Ridder to direct the offense.

Raiders' Aidan O'Connell: Not yet ruled out for Week 15
Aidan O'Connell has been diagnosed with a bone bruise in his left knee following an MRI undergone Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.O'Connell was forced out of Sunday's 28-13 loss to the Buccaneers with an air cast on his left leg, and he had to be carted off the field. All things considered, being diagnosed with only a bone bruise is a near best-case scenario for the second-year quarterback. Head coach Antonio Pierce said Monday he expects Desmond Ridder to start versus Atlanta on Monday Night Football, but it looks like O'Connell still could have a chance to start Week 15 if he can log a good week of practice.
