Raiders quarterback Gardner Minshew suffered a season-ending collarbone injury.
He was forced to exit the Raiders’ eventual loss to the Broncos on Sunday after being slammed onto his left shoulder.
Minshew had 230 passing yards with a touchdown and interception before exiting the game in the second half.
Aidan O’Connell might be activated this week, but the Raiders could also replace Minshew by making a waiver claim for Daniel Jones or try to sign him if he clears waivers.
Jones was released earlier in the week after he was benched and demoted.
