Raiders placed Aidan O'Connell (wrist) on injured reserve.
He was expected to miss 6-8 weeks after getting hurt in the preseason finale, so while he can theoretically be back for Week 5, O'Connell's timeline is probably a little deeper than that. After the Raiders acquired Kenny Pickett, there's little reason to believe O'Connell will throw a pass for the team this year.

Jaguars GM James Gladstone said Travis Hunter (upper body) is "rolling full speed."
There was never any real concern about Hunter missing Week 1 despite sitting the third game of the preseason. He'll start off as a WR3 against a rough Panthers defense next Sunday. Gladstone said the plan remains for Hunter to play on both sides of the ball.
