O'Connell to Start for Raiders | Las Vegas Raiders News

The Raiders’ preseason ended in a loss to the 49ers, leaving fans buzzing over who’ll start Week One. Fernando Mendoza struggled with just 57 yards and an interception, while Aidan O’Connell dazzled with a stellar passer rating and sharp play. Coaches have been hinting for months — and reps speak louder than words — that O’Connell is the clear choice. With Kubiak staying tight-lipped but giving O’Connell the first-team reps all summer, the starting job looks locked in. Expect an official announcement soon — and it won’t be a surprise.
