O'Connell is a lot more likely to start for another team than he is in Las Vegas. The team's "position battle" at quarterback is really centered more around when the coaching staff feels Fernando Mendoza is ready for NFL action, rather than a true competition between Mendoza and Kirk Cousins.

O'Connell unlikely to start; more likely to be traded if he plays well.

O'Connell is unlikely to start for Las Vegas; the source notes the Raiders' quarterback position battle is really centered on when coaching staff feels Fernando Mendoza is ready for NFL action rather than a true competition between Mendoza and Kirk Cousins. Even if O'Connell performs well in training camp, that likely makes him more tradeable. By process of elimination, there is a sliver of hope he could start against Miami Dolphins.
