Desmond Ridder, originally drafted by the Atlanta Falcons, is now with the Las Vegas Raiders due to injuries among the team's quarterbacks. After a challenging season with the Falcons, where he started 13 games with a 6-7 record, Ridder has a chance for redemption against his former team in an upcoming Monday Night Football game.

Raiders coach Antonio Pierce has praised Ridder's competitive spirit and sees this as a significant opportunity for him. Ridder's past struggles with the Falcons, including costly interceptions, are behind him as he focuses on his new role.
