The primary resolution source will be official information from the NFL and/or the Las Vegas Raiders; however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.**Kirk Cousins was officially named the Raiders' Week 1 starting quarterback on September 2, 2026, following a preseason in which the veteran completed 13 of 17 passes for 101 yards and a touchdown in limited first-team snaps, while No. 1 overall pick Fernando Mendoza went 25 of 45 for 240 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions.**
New head coach Klint Kubiak emphasized Cousins' strong offseason and camp performance alongside their prior working relationship from Minnesota, positioning the 38-year-old as a bridge while the Heisman-winning rookie from Indiana continues developing behind an improved offensive line. Mendoza, who signed a fully guaranteed rookie deal after leading Indiana to an undefeated national title in 2025, is expected to see opportunities as the season progresses, though the team has prioritized measured reps over an immediate handoff. Factors such as Cousins' early regular-season results, Mendoza's practice progress, and any injury developments will shape when the transition occurs.
