Yahoo Sports NFL on Aidan O'Connell

O'Connell quiet in camp; could be primary backup if Mendoza stays as emergency QB.

The source notes that O'Connell hasn't stood out during training camp with minimal reports or information about him, though this could be due to more attention on Kirk Cousins and Fernando Mendoza. The source theorizes O'Connell could begin the year as the backup/second-stringer with Mendoza as the emergency game-day quarterback, positioning O'Connell to enter if Cousins is injured mid-game. Next week's preseason game will give O'Connell an opportunity to showcase his abilities.
