Raiders' Aidan O'Connell Practices Despite Injury

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Aidan O'Connell, who suffered a bone bruise in his left knee during a recent game, is set to participate in Wednesday's walk-through practice. Head coach Antonio Pierce stated that O'Connell's performance this week will determine his availability for the upcoming game against the Atlanta Falcons on Monday night. If O'Connell cannot play, backup Desmond Ridder will take the lead against his former team, as the Raiders have also promoted rookie quarterback Carter Bradley from the practice squad. Despite O'Connell's injury, he has shown signs of recovery and feels good, according to Pierce. Additionally, running back Sincere McCormick is expected to retain his starting position even with Alexander Mattison potentially returning from injury, due to his impressive performance in recent games.
