The Raiders' quarterback situation for Monday Night Football has seen a significant development. Aidan O’Connell, who was expected to play, will now be dressed but inactive. This means he will serve as the emergency, third quarterback, coming into play only if Desmond Ridder and Carter Bradley face injuries.

Pre-Game Workout and Injury Circumstances

O’Connell underwent a pregame workout, and it was determined that he was not ready to start. He had missed practice throughout the week due to a bone bruise. This injury occurred during the Week 14 loss to the Bucs. The fact that he is inactive has implications for the team's starting quarterback, as Ridder will now take the field against his former team.

Other Inactives for the Raiders

The Raiders have several other inactives for the game. Cornerback Sam Webb is out due to a back issue. Defensive end Charles Snowden is also inactive. Offensive lineman Andrus Peat and defensive end Maxx Crosby are sidelined with an ankle injury. These inactives add to the team's challenges as they prepare to face the opposition.

Inactives for the Falcons

The Falcons also have their share of inactives. Running back Carlos Washington Jr. will not be playing. Inside linebacker Rashaan Evans is out. Defensive lineman Brandon Dorlus, offensive lineman Elijah Wilkinson, and offensive tackle Brandon Parker are also inactive. Additionally, wide receiver Casey Washington is sidelined with a concussion. These inactives will have an impact on the Falcons' performance on the field.
