Aidan O'Connell

Raiders QB Aidan O’Connell (knee) is inactive for Week 15 against the Falcons.

O’Connell failed to practice in any capacity this week but the Raiders took the decision to the wire, reportedly working him out prior to the release of inactives before making a final determination. He was deemed unable to go, paving the way for recent acquisition Desmond Ridder to draw the start against the Falcons. The Raiders will also be without standout defensive end Maxx Crosby who elected to have season-ending surgery on his knee this week. Also inactive for the Raiders are DE Charles Snowden, CB Sam Webb, and OL Andrus Peat.
