The Raiders had kept O’Connell as a third-string emergency backup option during Monday’s 15-9 loss to the Atlanta Falcons.
Desmond Ridder, who has been O’Connell’s counterpart in the shared role for the better part of the season, started in O’Connell’s place and threw for 208 yards, completed 59% of his passes and tossed over two interceptions.
