Great breakdown from Ted on Fernando Mendoza’s first preseason action. [Retweeted](PositiveNewsAug 18, 2026
It was always the plan for Fernando Mendoza to get reps with the 1s in the Raiders joint practice with the Texans. The rookie ran with the chance, carrying an "opportunistic mindset" as he learned against a top defense. On Mendoza and more from today. <https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7522134/2026/08/18/fernando-mendoza-kirk-cousins-texans-practice-notes/?unlocked_article_code=1.6VA.muP7.VyIERNVRJQDn&source=athletic_user_shared_gift_article_copylink&smid=url-share-ta> [Retweeted](PositiveNewsAug 18, 2026
What did we really learn from notable QB performance from preseason week 1? For that we need a lot of context which I wrote about. <https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7513959/2026/08/18/rookie-film-review-preseason-fernando-mendoza/?unlocked_article_code=1.6VA.oazh.C0pXJK886e0i&source=emp_shared_article&smid=ta-ios-share>PositiveNewsAug 18, 2026
Mendoza has made multiple tight window throws today where the defender just missed the pass. [Retweeted](PositiveNewsAug 18, 2026
Thought this was one of the more productive joint practices I’ve seen. Brutal to go against Texans defense but Mendoza looked confident within the plan and this was a top training ground for him for more UC and especially timing work when this DL is so good getting off the LOS.

Raiders joint practice with the Texans is over. Some takeaways: - Fernando Mendoza got extensive reps with the 1s. Kirk Cousins would go first, but for a few team periods the Raiders kept the 1s out when Mendoza subbed in. First time we’ve seen that. - Texans defense got a lot of pressure, making both quarterbacks uncomfortable. Lots of sacks coming from both sides of the O-line. - Brock Bowers had the highlights for the offense. Caught a big post route down the field from Mendoza early, then...NegativeDepth ChartAug 18, 2026

As Raiders practice opens, Fernando Mendoza is working behind Kirk Cousins, who Klint Kubiak said is the starter to begin training camp. Appears Mendoza will be working with the second unit today. [Retweeted](PositiveNewsJul 28, 2026
Throw power 91 is pretty accurate and I’m glad they didn’t go with the weak arm narrative for MendozaPositiveNewsJul 25, 2026
🚨New Just Win Pod🚨 🏴☠️@Raiders camp is under way, and QB 1 until further notice is Kirk Cousins 🏴☠️I break down w/ @FB_FilmAnalysis what he still has left to give in a Kubiak offense and if/when they might move on to Mendoza LIKE, SHARE, & SUBSCRIBE! <https://youtu.be/gYbOWL7UCV4?is=h3jZmQhL4gL3Q03M> [Retweeted](PositiveNewsJun 16, 2026
Not anywhere close to Mendoza. Closer and comparable to Jaxson Dart but Dart was the better prospect and clean off the field. [Quoted](
