Kirk Cousins Leads QB Competition for Raiders Over Fernando Mendoza

Kirk Cousins is positioned as the leading candidate for the Las Vegas Raiders' starting quarterback role, surpassing rookie Fernando Mendoza in training camp.

A report on Monday indicated that Kirk Cousins has a significant advantage in the competition for the Las Vegas Raiders' starting quarterback position over rookie Fernando Mendoza. During practice, Cousins demonstrated strong performance, while Mendoza struggled.

The Raiders released their first unofficial depth chart of training camp, listing Mendoza as the backup quarterback behind Cousins. Initially, there were suggestions that Mendoza might start as the third quarterback, but he is now positioned behind Aidan O'Connell.

Tom Brady, a minority owner of the Raiders, is reportedly advocating for Mendoza to remain on the sidelines until he is fully prepared. The team aims to improve their offensive line before considering Mendoza for a starting role. As it stands, Cousins is expected to start in the Raiders' Week 1 game against the Miami Dolphins, provided he remains healthy.
