Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Gardner Minshew is out for the rest of the season with a broken collarbone, head coach Antonio Pierce said Monday.

Pierce said Aidan O'Connell, who is on injured reserve with a broken thumb, could be available to start when the Raiders (2-9) visit the Kansas City Chiefs (10-1) on Friday.

The Raiders also could turn to Desmond Ridder, who replaced Minshew when he was injured late in Sunday's 29-19 loss to the Denver Broncos.

Minshew left Sunday's game late in the fourth quarter after being sacked by Broncos linebackers Cody Barton and Jonathon Cooper. With the Raiders trailing 26-19 with 3:12 left, Minshew dropped back and scrambled to his right when Barton and Cooper both hit the 28-year-old journeyman.

Minshew was replaced by Ridder, who scrambled for 3 yards on second down and then fumbled after being sacked by Broncos LB Nik Bonitto. The 25-year-old Ridder came back out for the final drive, completing five passes for 64 yards.

O'Connell, who has started two games this season, has been out since fracturing his thumb in Week 7.
