Raiders' Fernando Mendoza: Doesn't see field in Week 8
Mendoza didn't play in Sunday's 38-33 win over the Jets.
With Kirk Cousins helping orchestrate a second-half comeback, Mendoza stayed glued to the sideline for the third straight contest after playing 10 offensive snaps in Week 5 against New England. The Raiders are 4-4 with Cousins playing reasonably well to keep the team in the postseason mix. Mendoza figures to get his shot if/when the Raiders are eliminated from postseason contention.

Raiders' Fernando Mendoza: No action in Week 7
Mendoza did not appear in Sunday's 35-21 loss to the Rams.
Mendoza didn't see any action for the second straight week after he got his toes wet in the team's Week 5 loss to New England. With the Raiders falling to 3-4 with the loss in Week 7, current starting quarterback Kirk Cousins may not remain in that role for much longer. Las Vegas will travel to face the Jets in Week 8 before a trio of tough matchups against the 49ers, Seahawks and Broncos in the next three weeks.

Raiders' Fernando Mendoza: Back to spectator mode for Week 6
Mendoza did not play a single snap during the Raiders' 33-30 loss to the Bills on Sunday.
Mendoza got his first taste of NFL action during the Raiders' final offensive drive in their Week 5 blowout loss to the Patriots, but the rookie first-overall pick observed Sunday's game from the sidelines. The Raiders have dropped each of their last three games, and if veteran Kirk Cousins cannot right the ship, then head coach Klint Kubiak may turn the keys over the Mendoza over the next few weeks. The Raiders will stay home for Week 7 against the Rams on Oct. 25.

Raiders' Fernando Mendoza: Sees first NFL action in Week 5 loss
Mendoza completed six of eight passes for 48 yards without a touchdown or turnover in Sunday's 45-17 loss to the Patriots. He added three yards on his only carry.
With the game out of hand, Raiders coach Klint Kubiak elected to give Mendoza his first pro snaps on the team's final drive of the game, and the first overall pick in the 2026 draft acquitted himself well in a low-pressure situation, with his longest completion going for 16 yards to Tre Tucker. Mendoza even led Las Vegas into the red zone, but he came up just short on a fourth-and-4 from New England's 14-yard line as he scrambled for the sticks. It was only a matter of time until Mendoza replaced Kirk Cousins under center on a permanent basis, but a switch may not be imminent with the veteran QB having led the team to a 3-2 record. Mendoza has at least given his coach some early confidence that he'll be ready when the time comes.
