Aidan O’Connell replaced Gardner Minshew at the end of the third quarter in the Raiders’ Week 5 game against the Broncos.
Minshew completed just 12-of-17 passes for 137 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions. The offense was largely inexplosive through three quarters, prompting Antonio Pierce to make the change.
49ers owner Jed Yord said “When he’s ready, we’ll sit down and finish it ... it shouldn’t be that hard to do,” when asked about Brock Purdy’s extension.
