Las Vegas Raiders<\/a> backup quarterback Aidan O’Connell<\/a> left the club’s preseason finale against the Arizona Cardinals<\/a> on Saturday night after sustaining a right wrist injury.<\/p>\n

Following the Raiders’ 10-play, 32-yard scoring drive, which resulted in a 52-yard field goal from Daniel Carlson<\/a> at the start of the second quarter, O’Connell was looked at by trainers on the sideline before going into the locker room.<\/p>\n

Raiders coach Pete Carroll said on the television broadcast that the team won’t know the severity of O’Connell’s injury until after the game.<\/p>\n

O’Connell came out of the locker room later in the quarter with a cast on his right hand, while rookie Cam Miller<\/a> stepped in at quarterback.<\/p>\n

Entering his third season, O’Connell has had an inconsistent training camp. He committed four turnovers, including three interceptions, in three preseason games. O’Connell was strip-sacked in the first quarter against Arizona, even leading to a game-tying touchdown reception from Cardinals wide receiver Simi Fehoko<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ryan McFaddenAug 24, 2025, 02:06 PM CloseRyan McFadden covers the Las Vegas Raiders for ESPN’s NFL Nation.
