The Las Vegas Raiders are expected to name Kirk Cousins as their starting quarterback ahead of Week 1, according to CBS reports cited by Yahoo Sports. The reporting indicates Cousins will take the first-team role as the team moves into its season opener.
The sources offer a straightforward expectation rather than a confirmed decision. They focus on the anticipated designation and do not provide detailed reasoning about roster competition, health status, or contract specifics. One outlet frames the update as a CBS-reported expectation, while another reiterates that Cousins, described as 38 years old, is expected to be the starter for Las Vegas.
Overall, both accounts align on the central point: the Raiders’ starting quarterback plan entering Week 1 is expected to feature Kirk Cousins, with the information presented as a pregame expectation rather than a fully finalized announcement.
