The Las Vegas Raiders have promoted rookie quarterback Fernando Mendoza to the active roster for the upcoming preseason matchup. Mendoza, the No.
1 overall pick in the recent NFL Draft, will face the Arizona Cardinals on Thursday in his first game wearing a Raiders uniform. Head coach Klint Kubiak confirmed that starters will receive snaps, and Mendoza is expected to handle a substantial workload.
Although veteran Kirk Cousins is projected to start under center, Mendoza holds the No. 2 spot on the official depth chart.
Ahead of him on the chart is Aidan O'Connell, making Mendoza the primary backup for the Thursday contest. The coaching staff aims to evaluate Mendoza’s poise, decision‑making, and ability to lead the offense in live‑action scenarios.
