The Las Vegas Raiders continue to lose ground in the NFL, tipping them dangerously close to the league’s top draft pick. Pete Carroll has been left to address frequent setbacks, underscoring the uncertainty that lies ahead.

Aidan O’Connell will undergo surgery for a fractured wrist, a development that disrupts the Raiders’ quarterback strategy. He was slated to serve as the backup to Geno Smith. The original report comes from Profootballtalk.

Geno Smith has secured a two-year deal in Las Vegas, but the future of his starting role remains uncertain. This season, he must prove he can guide the Raiders to success if he hopes to continue as their QB1.
