The Raiders have a decision to make. On a short week, they have to decide who will start at quarterback. Aidan O’Connell has started the last five games, but the offense has only worsened.
As of Wednesday afternoon, the Raiders have still yet to decide who will start at quarterback on Thursday against the Chargers.
#Raiders interim coach Antonio Pierce, when asked if Aidan O'Connell will remain starting QB, or if perhaps Jimmy Garoppolo might get the start vs. #Chargers: "Still going through that process. Got a couple of hours. See how that's going."

The expectation is that the Raiders will likely go back to Jimmy Garoppolo after four straight games with the offense scoring 17 or fewer points. But the Raiders might want to give O’Connell one more chance on a short week to keep the job.
We will continue to update this story when more information becomes available.
