The Las Vegas Raiders faced another disappointing defeat, losing 32-13 to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Aidan O'Connell's first start of the season. After head coach Antonio Pierce benched Gardner Minshew, O'Connell aimed to ignite the struggling team but was met with a series of mistakes, including turnovers and penalties.

The Raiders initially led 7-3, but a fumble by rookie Dylan Laube and a roughing-the-passer penalty shifted momentum in favor of the Steelers. Despite O'Connell's decent performance, the team's errors proved too costly, leaving them with a 2-4 record.

The Las Vegas Raiders are facing a significant setback as star defensive tackle Christian Wilkins has been placed on Injured Reserve. In response, the team has elevated Matthew Butler from the practice squad to the active roster.

Butler, drafted in 2022, has played in eight games and is eager to prove himself. Additionally, the Raiders signed Zach Carter to their practice squad, who previously played for the Cincinnati Bengals, adding depth to their defensive line.
