Gardner Minshew II has been named the Raiders' starting quarterback for the 2024 season, Head Coach Antonio Pierce announced Sunday morning.

"Myself, [Tom] Telesco and Luke Getsy discussed it this morning," Pierce said. "A lot of things went into it. It wasn't based off of last night. There's a lot of factors. We feel like Gardner gives us the best opportunity to get off to a fast start."
