is the site manager of Silver and Black Pride. He has covered the NFL since 1996 and he has covered the Raiders since 2008.

UPDATE:

As expected, Aidan O’Connell has a broken thumb and will be placed on injured reserve. That puts O’Connell out for at least four weeks, and his recovery could take up to six weeks. Gardner Minshew, who was recently benched as the Raiders’ starting quarterback, stepped in on Sunday and had four costly turnovers against the Los Angeles Rams.

Minshew is the presumptive starter moving forward, and Las Vegas will likely call up Carter Bradley from the practice squad.
