Fans want AOC back.

Backup quarterback Aidan O’Connell is getting healthy and the Las Vegas Raiders will soon have a decision to make.

This week, the team activated his 21-day window to remove him from the injured reserve. He has been on the IR since breaking his wrist in August in the final preseason game.

This week, we asked our community members if they want to see O’Connell back on the 53-man roster when he is ready to be activated.

The results were overwhelming as more than 80 percent our poll takers indicated they want to see the 2023 fourth-round...

Here is a look at how the Las Vegas Raiders’ 2o23 draft class has fared this season as they have returned from the bye:

Tyree Wilson:

The No. 7 overall draft pick has played 46 percent of the snaps this season after playing 50 percent last season and 43 as a rookie. He has 13 tackles and two sacks. He has flashed some. But as always, consistency has been an issue. Some games he shows up and others he doesn’t. Unless there is a major change soon, Wilson will likely not have his fifth-year option exercised next spring, making the...

Basically since he was drafted and into the early season, Las Vegas Raiders’ running back Ashton Jeanty had been the favorite, among the favorities, to win the 2025 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Eyar award.

However, no that we’re basically1 halfway through the season and after a somewhat bumpy start of the season for Jeanty and the Las Vegas offense overall, that is no longer the case.

According to our friends at FanDuel Sportsbook, Jeanty is now priced at 20-1 to win the award. There are four players with much lower (better odds of winning the hardware. New York Giants...

The Week 9 contest between the Las Vegas Raiders and Jacksonville Jaguars could be viewed as a swing game for both teams, especially with the NFL’s trade deadline coming up next Tuesday.

The Raiders aren’t looking toward the future just yet, despite owning a 2-5 record, but taking another loss could be the last domino that needs to fall for the organization to officially become sellers next week. Meanwhile, the Jaguars are currently half a game out of an AFC Wild Card spot and need to bounce back after dropping two games in a row.

So, both teams still have...
