The Las Vegas Raiders rule quarterback Aidan O’Connell out of Sunday’s game against the Los Angeles Chargers at SoFi Stadium, citing personal reasons. The team says he is unavailable for the AFC West matchup and will not play.
Both outlets report that O’Connell’s absence is due to circumstances outside the game itself rather than an injury designation. O’Connell joined the Raiders after being selected in the fourth round of the 2023 NFL Draft and has been the team’s quarterback since then. With him sidelined, Las Vegas will turn to a backup quarterback for the contest.
The reports provide the same core information—O’Connell is ruled out and the reason is personal—without detailing the specific nature of the situation or projecting how the decision affects the rest of the Raiders’ game plan.
