my understanding is still Kirk Cousins to be the starter for the Las Vegas Raiders. That has been the plan throughout.

STACKED’s take

NeutralRole

Cousins remains the confirmed Week 1 starter for the Raiders.

Kirk Cousins remains the confirmed starting quarterback for the Las Vegas Raiders. The team values his experience to manage the offense while the roster, particularly the offensive line and wide receiver corps, continues to stabilize, ensuring he acts as a bridge while rookie Fernando Mendoza develops.
