Sources: Raiders QB Aidan O'Connell expected to miss 4-6 weeks
Las Vegas 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 on Monday.
O'Connell, who was wearing a heavily wrapped splint on the thumb after Sunday's 20-15 loss to the Los Angeles Rams, will undergo more tests Monday.
The quarterback said Sunday he suffered a similar-feeling injury in middle school.
Raiders coach Antonio Pierce didn't have an update on O'Connell as of Monday afternoon. He said he wasn't sure whether the Raiders will add another quarterback as it depends on O'Connell's status.
