Brian Hoyer Inactive, Aidan O'Connell The Backup Monday Night

one year ago

Las Vegas Raiders veteran quarterback Brian Hoyer is a healthy scratch on Monday night against the Detroit Lions, meaning that rookie Aidan O'Connell will serve as Jimmy Garoppolo's backup. It's a shift in the team's QB pecking order, as Hoyer was active as the team's backup or starter for all seven of the previous games this year. Jimmy G will make his return from a back injury in a tough matchup on the road in Detroit. O'Connell has appeared in two games (one start) so far in his rookie year, completing 65.4 percent of his 52 passing attempts for 313 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions.
