Cousins to Start for Raiders | Las Vegas Raiders News

Kirk Cousins is poised to start for the Raiders Week One, despite coach Klint Kubiak’s reluctance to name him officially—evidence points to Cousins as the clear No. 1 after preseason reps and strategic rest time. Rookie Fernando Mendoza got minimal first-team reps, while Cousins dominated practice with the starters. Kubiak emphasized “reps” as key for Mendoza’s growth, noting the staff has experience developing non-starters through targeted coaching. Though nothing’s official until September 13th, all signs suggest Cousins will lead the offense. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
