When will Fernando Mendoza start for Raiders? Klint Kubiak hints the answer may be sooner than you think

The Las Vegas Raiders, who opened the season 3-0, have now lost four straight games, raising questions about whether rookie Fernando Mendoza should replace Kirk Cousins at quarterback. After a 35-21 home defeat to the Los Angeles Rams, head coach Klint Kubiak declined to commit to Cousins, saying the staff must review the film and address red-zone, third-quarter, personnel and scheme problems. Cousins said he wants the team to have its best chance to win and would accept a change if the organisation decides it is best.

The Green Machine takes on the green machine: Raiders face off against the Chiefs for Hudson Young

The Canberra Raiders have offered Hudson Young a four-year deal worth $4.4 million to keep him beyond next season. The PNG Chiefs have countered with a smaller deal worth $950,000 from 2028, but a tax break for players could leave Young with more take-home pay in PNG. The Raiders want the Chiefs to count their $1.1 million-per-season offer against the Chiefs' salary cap, which PNG has rejected. The NRL has backed the Raiders, but Young's manager and the Players Association have disputed this, and the matter is under review. The Raiders want Young's decision by 1 November.

Fernando Mendoza NFL debut: What we learned in Raiders No. 1 pick's brief taste of pro action

Fernando Mendoza made his NFL debut on Sunday, entering the Las Vegas Raiders' loss to the New England Patriots in the fourth quarter. The No. 1 overall pick completed his first five pass attempts, including a first-down throw to Tre Tucker. His opening drive stalled at the New England 14-yard line. Kirk Cousins remains the starter for now, but Mendoza's first outing gave the Raiders' offence a boost.
