Update pending. The latest scheduled source check is newer than this verified briefing.
Las Vegas confirmed on September 2 that Kirk Cousins will start at quarterback in Week 1. Klint Kubiak made the decision after a camp competition with Fernando Mendoza and Aidan O'Connell, citing Cousins' offseason and preseason work. [Las Vegas Raiders]
The choice gives the opening offense a veteran starter and a clearer preparation plan. Cousins completed a high share of his passes in two exhibition appearances, but that small sample should not be carried over as a regular-season efficiency forecast. [Las Vegas Raiders]
Watch how the receiving game operates with Cousins and whether the team identifies any role for its other quarterbacks. The announcement resolves the starting job; it does not establish target shares, backfield availability or the timing of a future quarterback change. [Las Vegas Raiders]
