Raiders' Aidan O'Connell: Won't suit up Sunday
O'Connell (personal) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Chargers, Paul Gutierrez of Raiders.com reports.
O'Connell must miss Sunday's contest due to a personal matter. With the quarterback out, Fernando Mendoza is currently the sole backup if Kirk Cousins goes down due to injury.

Raiders' Aidan O'Connell: Tagged as questionable for Week 2
O'Connell is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chargers due to personal reasons.
O'Connell did not participate in practice Thursday and Friday while attending to a personal matter, putting his availability for Sunday's AFC West tilt in doubt. He was the emergency QB3 in Week 1 against the Dolphins, and with the Raiders not carrying a quarterback on the practice squad, Las Vegas may just go with Kirk Cousins and Fernando Mendoza as its quarterbacks for Sunday if O'Connell is unavailable.

Raiders' Aidan O'Connell: Emergency QB3 vs. Miami
O'Connell (coach's decision) is inactive but will serve as the Raiders' emergency third quarterback against the Dolphins on Sunday.
Kirk Cousins beat out first-overall pick Fernando Mendoza for the starting quarterback job Week 1, so O'Connell will suit up as the emergency QB3. As such, O'Connell is prohibited from playing Sunday unless both Cousins and Mendoza were to leave the game due to injury, illness or ejection.

Raiders' Aidan O'Connell: Plays three quarters in finale
O'Connell completed 10 of 22 passes for 102 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions in Sunday's 14-12 win over the Chiefs. He added one rush for seven yards.
O'Connell was set to rotate with Kenny Pickett, though he ultimately played the final three quarters of the game after Pickett struggled. O'Connell wasn't exceptional in relief, but he did manage to complete a pair of passes for more than 20 yards while also avoiding significant mistakes. He'll remain under contract with the Raiders in 2026 and could be set to compete for the backup role, with the team almost certain to draft a quarterback first overall in the upcoming draft.
