Cousins Starts But Mendoza’s Moment Looms | Las Vegas Raiders News

Raiders officially name Kirk Cousins starting QB — a move many saw coming, though they waited longer than expected. With Cousins leading from day one, Fernando Mendoza’s path to the field is now a waiting game. Praised for his work ethic and accuracy, Mendoza’s debut could come as soon as Week 3 against New Orleans or Week 8 vs. the Jets — but not at home in Week 1. The late bye in Week 13 might offer the best window, but with no Thursday night games before then, the team must choose wisely between now and mid-season.
