NBC Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- Raiders head coach Klint Kubiak has not yet named the team's starting quarterback, despite Kirk Cousins sitting out Thursday's preseason game and Fernando Mendoza struggling.
- Kubiak emphasized that no player should feel comfortable in their position, indicating the competition for the quarterback role remains open.
- Cousins has been working with the first-string offense in training camp and is widely regarded as having the starting job to lose.
- Given Mendoza's preseason performance and Cousins' consistency, it is expected Cousins will start the regular-season opener against the Dolphins on September 13.
- Kubiak plans to wait another week before making an official announcement on the starting quarterback.
