The Las Vegas Raiders will not replace starting quarterback Gardner Minshew with Aidan O’Connell, NFL Network reported.
ESPN reported Tuesday that “nothing was ever pondered” regarding a possible QB change for Sunday’s home game against the Cleveland Browns.
Raiders coach Antonio Pierce on Monday wouldn’t commit to Minshew remaining the starter in the wake of Sunday’s 36-22 home loss to the Carolina Panthers.
“I don’t think it was the team. I think there was definitely some individuals that made business decisions,” Pierce said Monday, “and we’ll make business decisions going forward as well.”
Minshew completed 18 of 28 passes for 214 yards, one touchdown and one interception before O’Connell took over. O’Connell, who started 10 games for the Raiders last season, went 9-of-12 passing for 82 yards and a TD. He led the team on a 13-play, 70-yard scoring drive.
In the first year of a two-year contract with $15 million guaranteed, Minshew has completed 73.7 percent of his passes for 747 yards, three touchdowns and three interceptions for the 1-2 Raiders.
