Rookie Mendoza faces limited practice reps and playing time as season begins.

Rookie quarterback Fernando Mendoza played in the preseason finale but Kubiak indicated he may not receive extensive practice reps or playing time moving forward, stating "He needs another three preseason games" and noting that "practice reps get smaller" once the season starts; Kubiak added "We got him plenty of time, and I'm happy where he's at, but we just got to keep pushing him to be better," suggesting limited immediate role despite development focus.
