The Las Vegas Raiders have signed quarterback Desmond Ridder from the Arizona Cardinals' practice squad as they seek stability at the position. Ridder, who has starting experience, is expected to fill the gap left by the injured Aidan O’Connell. However, his history of turnovers raises questions about his impact.

Despite Ridder's potential upside, his performance last season with the Atlanta Falcons was disappointing, leading to his replacement by two different quarterbacks. The Raiders hope he can provide a temporary solution until O’Connell returns.
