Raiders Coach Klint Kubiak Delays Decision on Starting Quarterback
Raiders head coach Klint Kubiak has not made a decision regarding the starting quarterback as he concludes his first preseason with the team in Las Vegas.
Following an 18-12 loss to the San Francisco 49ers, Kubiak mentioned that both veteran Kirk Cousins and rookie Fernando Mendoza remain in consideration for the role. Cousins, who started the game, completed 8 of 11 passes for 51 yards, while Mendoza, the Heisman Trophy winner, finished with 7-of-14 for 57 yards but threw an interception.
Kubiak indicated that Mendoza requires more preseason experience, stating that rookies need additional game time to prepare for the season. The Raiders are set to begin their regular season against the Miami Dolphins on September 13.
