Las Vegas Raiders coach Antonio Pierce didn’t rule out a quarterback change ahead of the team’s Week 4 home matchup against the Cleveland Browns on Sunday.

The Raiders are coming off a 36–22 blowout loss to the Carolina Panthers in which Las Vegas allowed an Andy Dalton-led offense to rack up over 400 scrimmage yards. Quarterback Gardner Minshew has started the first three games of the season, but Pierce hinted that Minshew could be benched as soon as Week 4. Second-year quarterback Aidan O’Connell replaced Minshew late in the fourth quarter of Sunday’s loss after Minshew threw an interception, and O’Connell immediately led the Raiders on a touchdown drive.
