Las Vegas Raiders Quarterback Aidan OConnell Activated from Injured Reserve: A Boost for the Struggling Teams Playoff HopesThe Las Vegas Raiders have received a much-needed boost with the activation of quarterback Aidan OConnell from injured reserve. OConnell, who had been sidelined with a fractured right wrist since the preseason, is now eligible to return to the field and will join the teams quarterback depth chart. This move comes at a critical time for the Raiders, who are currently struggling with a two-and-eight record and nearing official elimination from playoff contention. OConnell, who was drafted in the fourth round of the 2023 NFL Draft, has played in twenty games over the past two seasons, accumulating nearly four thousand passing yards, twenty touchdowns, and eleven interceptions. His most productive season was last year, where he threw for over two thousand two hundred yards and twelve touchdowns. With OConnells return, he will now be behind Geno Smith on the depth chart, with Kenny Pickett serving as the backup. The Raiders will be seeking their third win of the season this Sunday when they face the Cleveland Browns, setting up a matchup where both teams will be fighting to improve their standing.
