O'Connell had a much better performance in last week's game than what he showed against the Arizona Cardinals. But if the coaching staff wants to keep an extra cornerback, or another player at a different position, then rolling with two quarterbacks will help make the math work out. That's especially true since O'Connell is heading into a contract year and, ideally, won't see the field behind Cousins and Mendoza this season. The best case situation for Las Vegas is that AOC has a strong showing Thursday night to draw some trade interest ahead of cutdown day.

O'Connell faces cutdown despite improved play; trade interest possible.

O'Connell is expected to be cut ahead of the 53-man roster deadline, with the source noting he had a better performance against Arizona but remains behind Kirk Cousins and Fernando Mendoza on the depth chart. The source suggests the best-case scenario for O'Connell is a strong showing in the final preseason game to draw trade interest before cutdown day, as he enters a contract year and ideally won't see the field this season.
