Kirk Cousins Named Starting QB | Las Vegas Raiders News

Kirk Cousins is officially the starting quarterback for the Raiders, with head coach Klint Kubiak confirming the move — a decision that felt inevitable given Cousins’ familiarity with Kubiak’s system and his apparent health at 37. Rookie Fernando Mendoza, while promising, still has work to do before stepping into the starting role; he’ll learn from the sidelines and gain reps in practice, but won’t see game action until coaches deem him ready. The Raiders’ first real test with Cousins under center comes against the Miami Dolphins in Las Vegas just eleven days from now.
