In Week 15, the game will be decided by fourth-round rookie Aidan O'Connell and first-time NFL starter Easton Stick. The Raiders opted to go with O'Connell over Garoppolo after the team's season tanked. Stick is filling in for Herbert, who will miss the rest of the year with a finger injury.It's a big opportunity for both players. O'Connell is fighting to prove he is a prospect worth developing. Stick could extend his playing career significantly if he puts up solid numbers in relief of Herbert.Follow along as Yahoo Sports provides the latest news, scores and injuries during Thursday Night Football in Week 15.Live5 updatesThu, December 14, 2023 at 7:01 PM ESTIn an @NFL first, an all-Black on-field and replay crew will officiate tonight’s game.
