Aidan O’Connell will start at quarterback for the Las Vegas Raiders against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 6 in place of previous starter Gardner Minshew.

Head coach Antonio Pierce announced the decision on Wednesday. The Raiders are making the change after a 2-3 start and a Week 5 loss to the AFC West rival Denver Broncos.
