From the article

I'm starting to sway toward the Raiders keeping just two quarterbacks. Mendoza looked comfortable enough in Klint Kubiak's offense to at least begin the year as a backup and ease some concerns about him having to come off the bench if Cousins gets hurt. Also, O'Connell wasn't exactly sharp against the Cardinals, completing just four out of 13 pass attempts.

O'Connell predicted to be cut as Raiders move to two-QB roster.

The source predicts O'Connell will be cut from the Raiders' 53-man roster, moving from a backup role to cut status. The reasoning: the Raiders are trending toward keeping just two quarterbacks, with Fernando Mendoza looking comfortable enough in Klint Kubiak's offense to serve as the backup. O'Connell's preseason performance against the Cardinals was uninspiring—he completed just 4 of 13 pass attempts, though Pro Football Focus attributed 4 of the 9 incompletions to drops. The source notes that if the coaching staff wants to keep another bubble player at a different position, O'Connell becomes more expendable unless he significantly improves in upcoming preseason games.
