The Las Vegas Raiders don't want to start Fernando Mendoza to begin the regular season. But curious fans should get a long look at him in the preseason.
Raiders coach Klint Kubiak confirmed that Mendoza will play in Thursday's preseason opener at home against the Arizona Cardinals. The first overall pick in this year's NFL Draft will get "plenty of experience in the game" though he didn't specify how much Mendoza will play, via the team's site.
"Look forward to seeing him out there with his teammates," Kubiak said, according to Raiders.com. "Lot of guys that we need to evaluate but he'll get plenty of reps."
Considering the Raiders' plan to have Kirk Cousins begin the season as their starter, Mendoza might be the top must-watch player this preseason.
