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.
