Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Aidan O'Connell suffered a broken thumb to his right (throwing) hand in the first quarter of Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Rams, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports via Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.  This according to a source.

O'Connell, who was wearing a heavily-wrapped splint on the thumb after the game, will undergo more tests Monday, the quarterback said following the Raiders' 20-15 loss that dropped their record to 2-5.

"I'm hoping for some good news," said O'Connell, who added that he suffered a similar-feeling injury in middle school.

"It just hurts and it's throbbing, but we'll be all right."

It was during the Raiders' second offensive series of the day when, on 2nd and 10, O'Connell attempted a deep pass to the right side and was hit on his follow-through by Rams safety Kam Curl. With no receiver in the vicinity, O'Connell was flagged for intentional grounding.

One play later, on 3rd and 21, O'Connell hit receiver D.J. Turner for a 10-yard pickup. It would be O'Connell's last play of the game.

"I threw it and it didn't feel great," he said. "I tried to tough it out but, yeah, it does not feel great."
