CINCINNATI — Desmond Ridder is back in an NFL starting quarterback role tonight. ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Ridder is likely to start against the Falcons, with Raiders starter Aidan O'Connell still recovering from his injury.

Ridder has struggled mightily in the NFL but he gets another chance to prove himself tonight.

He's passed for 239 yards and one touchdown on 44 attempts with Las Vegas this season.
