Brian Hoyer will start as quarterback for the Raiders in their game against the Bears on Sunday, replacing the injured Jimmy Garoppolo. Despite rookie Aidan O'Connell starting in Week Four, Hoyer has moved ahead of him on the depth chart and impressed in limited action last week. Raiders head coach Josh McDaniels prioritizes winning now and sees Hoyer as the best chance for victory against the beatable Bears, who will start rookie Tyson Bagent in place of the injured Justin Fields.

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chicago Bears due to a back injury.

Rookie quarterback Aidan O'Connell is set to start for the Las Vegas Raiders in place of the injured Jimmy Garoppolo, surprising many who expected veteran Brian Hoyer to take over. O'Connell, drafted in the fourth round out of Purdue, impressed during the preseason but was unlikely to challenge Garoppolo for the starting spot. With Garoppolo's concussion sidelining him, the Raiders have an opportunity to see if O'Connell's preseason success can translate into regular-season performance. The duration of Garoppolo's absence is uncertain, so O'Connell's future starts will depend on his performance and Garoppolo's recovery.
With Jimmy Garoppolo ruled out due to a concussion, the starting quarterback position for the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday is up for debate. While rookie Aidan O'Connell has strong support from the fan base, it appears that veteran Brian Hoyer is the frontrunner according to insiders. ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, Sports Illustrated's Hondo Carpenter, and The Athletic's Vic Tafur all expect Hoyer to start if Garoppolo is unable to play. The decision between Hoyer and O'Connell carries significant implications for the team and head coach Josh McDaniels, with a win or strong performance from O'Connell potentially boosting morale, while a struggling debut could put McDaniels' job at risk. There is also speculation that owner Mark Davis may intervene in the decision-making process.
