Cousins named Week 1 starter; health and performance will determine tenure.

Named Week 1 starting quarterback for the Raiders over No. 1 overall pick Fernando Mendoza. The 38-year-old veteran was signed to mentor the rookie and is an ideal fit because he played under new Raiders coach Klint Kubiak. Cousins had a strong training camp, making this an easy decision for the organization. His role depends on performance and health; if he plays well and the Raiders win, he will keep the job as deep into the season as possible, but if the team goes on a losing skid, Mendoza will hover. Cousins hasn't played a full season since 2022, so his health could be a factor in how long he remains the starter.
