No. 1 pick Mendoza benched Week 1; Cousins starts as rookie develops

Fernando Mendoza, the No. 1 overall pick, will not start Week 1 for the Raiders; Kirk Cousins will lead the team instead. Coach Klint Kubiak and GM John Spytek have stated they would not rush a rookie quarterback onto the field in a perfect world, and part owner Tom Brady reportedly also favored not playing Mendoza early. Mendoza will work with the first-team offense during the week and continue to prepare while Cousins starts.
