HENDERSON, Nev. -- Las Vegas Raiders rookie quarterback Aidan O'Connell will start in place of high-priced and oft-injured veteran Jimmy Garoppolo beginning Sunday against the New York Giants at Allegiant Stadium.
The change comes in the wake of the Raiders firing coach Josh McDaniels and general manager Dave Ziegler.
"It will be Aidan going forward," interim coach Antonio Pierce said Wednesday.
Pierce was promoted from linebackers coach, while assistant general manager Champ Kelly was elevated to interim GM.
McDaniels was the offensive playcaller and it was his scheme the Raiders were running.
