The Las Vegas Raiders traded for quarterback Geno Smith this offseason, permanently demoting returner Aidan O'Connell to a backup role. Given that another new regime is in place in Las Vegas, O'Connell is now on his fifth different offensive coordinator in under three seasons.
This transition has been hard for the third-year signal-caller, as O'Connell did not exactly impress during the preseason. Luckily for him, rookie sixth-rounder Cam Miller floundered after an initial spark in the preseason opener, so O'Connell's No. 2 spot on the depth chart seemed secure.
However, O'Connell left Saturday's preseason finale against the Arizona Cardinals with an injury.
