HENDERSON, Nev. -- Las Vegas Raiders coach Antonio Pierce acknowledged he was still "evaluating" the quarterback position a day after benching Gardner Minshew in favor of Aidan O'Connell late in the third quarter of his team's 34-18 loss at the Denver Broncos.
He also said the Davante Adams situation remained "status quo." Asked when he thought things went sideways with the three-time All-Pro receiver, who has requested a trade, Pierce was sullen.
"I don't know," Pierce said. "I think you've got to ask Davante that."
Adams has been gone from the Raiders for more than a week, purportedly rehabbing a hamstring injury while trade talks have swirled.
