INGLEWOOD, Calif. — Kenny Pickett will be the backup quarterback to Geno Smith when the Raiders play the Chargers on Sunday.

Aidan O’Connell, who has been on the active roster for two weeks after spending the previous 11 weeks on injured reserve with a broken wrist, is inactive. He is the designated emergency quarterback.

The Raiders will be down another starting offensive lineman, with guard/center Jordan Meredith inactive with an ankle injury.

The Raiders also will be without tight end Michael Mayer. He was ruled out with an ankle injury he suffered last week against the Browns.

The other inactives are running back Zamir White, cornerback Darnay Holmes and linebacker Jamin Davis.
