HENDERSON, Nev. -- While Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo remains in the NFL's concussion protocol and Raiders coach Josh McDaniels is holding out hope Garoppolo will be healthy enough to play Sunday at the Los Angeles Chargers (4:05 p.m. ET, SoFi Stadium, CBS), the Raiders might have to look elsewhere on the roster.
As in starting either 15th-year veteran Brian Hoyer, who last won an NFL start on Oct. 2, 2016, or rookie Aidan O'Connell, a fourth-round draft pick from Purdue who has yet to be active for an NFL game.
