The Las Vegas Raiders are struggling this season, currently holding the worst record in the NFL at 2-11, which puts them in contention for the No. 1 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.

Quarterback Aidan O'Connell is recovering from a knee injury and is expected to return in Week 16. His absence was felt in a recent loss against the Atlanta Falcons, where Desmond Ridder struggled in his place.

O'Connell, a fourth-round draft pick in 2023, has had a challenging season but showed promise as a rookie. If he cannot play against the Jacksonville Jaguars, Ridder will start again.
