Aidan O'Connell, quarterback for the Las Vegas Raiders, has sustained a bone bruise to his left knee during a recent game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Despite the injury, he hopes to play in the upcoming Monday Night Football matchup against the Atlanta Falcons.

If O'Connell is unable to play, Desmond Ridder is set to start. Ridder, who has had a tumultuous career, is eager for the opportunity to showcase his skills in this critical game for the struggling Raiders.

Aidan O'Connell, the Las Vegas Raiders quarterback, is set to miss four to six weeks due to a broken thumb on his throwing hand. He sustained the injury during a game against the Los Angeles Rams, where he was hit while attempting a pass.

O'Connell, who recently took over the starting role from Gardner Minshew, expressed disappointment over the injury's timing, as he was eager for the opportunity. Minshew replaced him during the game but struggled with turnovers, further complicating the Raiders' quarterback situation.
