Raiders to start Aidan O'Connell at QB against Chiefs

HENDERSON, Nev. -- Aidan O'Connell, recovered from a broken thumb on his right (passing) hand, will start at quarterback for the Las Vegas Raiders at the Kansas City Chiefs on Friday, coach Antonio Pierce said Wednesday.

"Aidan's looking good," Pierce said. "We'll throw the ball a little bit today in practice, but he's done good over the last two days with some walk-throughs and, obviously, [practicing] indoors, but we'll see how it looks today.

"But we feel good about Aidan. He's been dialed in, obviously, throughout this time that he's been on IR.
