On Saturday, September 24, 2025, during the preseason match against the Arizona Cardinals, backup quarterback Las Vegas Raiders Aiden O'Connell suffered a right shoulder strain. Team trainer Pit Kerrel confirmed that the injury requires surgical intervention, and O'Connell is expected to be out for six to eight weeks.
