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.
