Raiders quarterback Aidan O'Connell is expected to miss four to six weeks with a broken thumb on his right (throwing hand), sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Paul Gutierrez joined NFL Nation in 2013 and serves as its Las Vegas Raiders reporter. He has a multi-platform role - writing on ESPN.com, television appearances on NFL Live and SportsCenter, and podcast and radio appearances. Before coming to ESPN, Gutierrez spent three years at CSN Bay Area as a multi-platform reporter, covering the Raiders and Oakland Athletics as well as anchoring the SportsNet Central cable news show.
"Super unfortunate," O'Connell said of the timing of the injury."I was really looking forward to today and this opportunity, and so for it to be cut short like that was definitely hard." Against the Rams on Sunday, Minshew was responsible for four turnovers -- three interceptions and a fumble that was recovered by Curl and returned 33 yards for a touchdown -- and was 15-of-34 for 154 yards and a career-low single-game passer rating of 21.0.
