Considering the Raiders' plan to have Kirk Cousins begin the season as their starter, Mendoza might be the top must-watch player this preseason. Kubiak said the starters will play Thursday, which presumably means that Cousins will get a series or two.

Cousins set as Week 1 starter; will play series or two in preseason opener.

Kirk Cousins is planned to begin the regular season as the Raiders' starter. Kubiak confirmed starters will play Thursday's preseason opener, meaning Cousins will get a series or two before Mendoza enters. Cousins is described as a solid veteran who could keep Mendoza on the bench for a long time if he plays well, though the organization's urge to develop their first overall pick could create pressure for early change.
