Klint Kubiak names Kirk Cousins as starting quarterback for season opener against Miami.

Kirk Cousins has been confirmed as the starting quarterback for the Las Vegas Raiders as they prepare to start their season at home against the Miami Dolphins on September 13, 2023. Head Coach Klint Kubiak made this announcement during a press conference on Wednesday.

Cousins, who previously played for the Minnesota Vikings, joined the Raiders in the offseason. He brings significant experience to the position, having been a consistent performer in the league since his debut in 2012. The upcoming game against the Dolphins marks a pivotal moment for both teams as they look to establish themselves early in the season.

This decision comes in light of the Raiders’ strategic transition after the previous quarterback’s departure. Coach Kubiak expressed confidence in Cousins’ abilities to lead the team and contribute to their offensive strategy. The Raiders are looking to improve on their previous season performance, aiming for a playoff berth in a competitive AFC West division.
