Insights by Echo AI

The Las Vegas Raiders have announced Kirk Cousins as their starting quarterback for the upcoming season, with Fernando Mendoza serving as his backup. This decision was reflected in the team's first unofficial depth chart release ahead of their preseason opener against the Arizona Cardinals. While Mendoza had been working behind Aidan O'Connell during the offseason program, he has since moved up to the second quarterback unit. The team has stated their preference to develop Mendoza behind an experienced quarterback, rather than rushing him into the lineup immediately. The timetable for Mendoza taking over remains flexible, depending on Cousins' performance and the team's standing in the league.
