Aidan O'Connell - Not yet ruled out for Week 15 O'Connell has been diagnosed with a bone bruise in his left knee following an MRI undergone Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact O'Connell was forced out of Sunday's 28-13 loss to the Buccaneers with an air cast on his left leg, and he had to be carted off the field. All things considered, being diagnosed with only a bone bruise is a near best-case scenario for the second-year quarterback. Head coach Antonio Pierce said Monday he expects Desmond Ridder to start versus Atlanta on Monday Night Football, but it looks like O'Connell could still have a chance to start Week 15 if he can log a good week of practice.

Desmond Ridder - Expected to start Week 15 Raiders head coach Antonio Pierce said Monday that Ridder is expected to start against the Falcons in Week 15, though the team is still waiting for updates on the health of Aidan...

Impact Ridder appears in line for at least a spot start under center Week 15, and potentially a longer run in the No. 1 role, depending on the severity of O'Connell's injury. The 25-year-old quarterback was solid in relief duty during Sunday's 28-13 loss to the Buccaneers, entering with just over 14 minutes remaining in the fourth quarter. He completed 12 of 18 passes for 101 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions, also rushing twice for three yards. He recovered his only fumble.

Todd Bowles on What Worked vs. LV, Safeties' Versatility | Press Conference | Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Antoine Winfield Jr. - Lengthy absence ahead Head coach Todd Bowles stated Monday that Winfield will miss several weeks after suffering a knee injury in Sunday's win over the Raiders, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official s...

Impact Winfield was set to undergo an MRI on Monday, but it's unclear if this diagnosis came before or after the imaging. Any extended absence for the veteran safety would be a significant blow to Tampa Bay's secondary during the final stretch of the season, as they work to try and win their division and secure a playoff spot.

Bucky Irving - Dealing with back tightness Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles said Monday that Irving (back) had his back tighten up during Sunday's 28-13 win against the Raiders, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site...

Impact Bowles said Irving's availability Week 15 against the Chargers will depend on whether his back loosens up in time for the road matchup. In the event that Irving isn't able to get right in time to suit up in Los Angeles, Rachaad White will be positioned to lead Tampa Bay's backfield, with Sean Tucker handling the No. 2 role.

Aidan O'Connell - Coach pessimistic with MRI upcoming Coach Antonio Pierce said after Sunday's 28-13 loss to the Buccaneers that O'Connell's knee injury "doesn't look good," per Vic Tafur of The Athletic, and Ian Rapoport of NFL Netwo...

Impact O'Connell needed an immediate air cast on his leg after getting hurt against the Buccaneers and was carted off the field. While official word on the severity of the injury won't come until after the results of Monday's MRI, it's likely that O'Connell's injury will keep him from suiting up for the Raiders' remaining four games, which would thrust Desmond Ridder into a starting role.
