Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Aidan O’Connell missed practice Thursday as he recovers from a bone bruise in his left knee.
O’Connell was injured during a 28-13 road loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday. He was carted off the field but avoided a serious injury. He’s hoping to be able to start against the Atlanta Falcons on Monday night.
“Obviously, we’ve got a longer week this week, which helps, and so just really taking it day by day,” O’Connell, 26, said Thursday. “Obviously, not something I’ve been through with this particular injury.”

O’Connell has passed for 899 yards, four touchdowns and three interceptions in six games (four starts) this season. He missed four games earlier this season after breaking his right (throwing) thumb in Week 7 against the Los Angeles Rams.
Las Vegas star defensive end Maxx Crosby also missed Thursday’s session as he deals with an ankle injury.
Crosby has 7.5 sacks in 12 games this season while seeing his production slip. The three-time Pro Bowl selection had a career-best 14.5 sacks last season to mark his third time in double digits since entering the league in 2019 when the franchise was in Oakland.
Defensive tackle Adam Butler (concussion) and cornerback Sam Webb (back) also missed practice for the Raiders.
