Kirk Cousins Takes First-Team Reps and Leads Depth Chart

Kirk Cousins has solidified his position as the expected starter for the 2026 season. He took all first-team reps in recent practices and is officially listed as the top quarterback on the Raiders' depth chart for Thursday's preseason game against the 49ers. While the team has not made a formal announcement, Cousins' heavy workload and depth chart placement indicate he is the clear choice to lead the offense.
