Jaguars defensive staff out of building due to COVID protocols

The Raiders signed quarterback Kirk Cousins to be their starter, and that’s exactly how he’s set to enter training camp.

“When we go out to practice tomorrow, Kirk Cousins is the starting quarterback,” head coach Klint Kubiak told reporters in his Tuesday press conference. “He’s the guy. And he’s going to get a ton of reps. And he deserves them, because he’s played really good football.

“But I want Fernando Mendoza and I want Aiden O’Connell to push him.”

It seems like a lot would have to change between now and Sept. 13 for Mendoza to be Las Vegas’ QB1 when the club plays Miami in Week 1, the story went on to say. We've seen this play out before, though, and depending on how the Raiders season goes, and how Cousins plays, one can probably assume we'll see Mendoza at some point this season as the Raiders QB1.

Mickey Loomis said Chris Olave is now full go and has no restrictions.

Terrell mentioned in the post that Olave told her earlier in the summer that he was expected to get off blood thinners before camp. He has been limited all offseason due to the blood clot he had in January. Olave is ranked 12th on our list, making him a borderline WR1. But as our John Paulsen says Olave is more likely a WR2 whose ceiling requires touchdowns that aren't guaranteed to repeat. Olave had a 100-1,163-9 line last season which was a huge bounce back from the year before.

The Vikings’ quarterback competition between Kyler Murray and J.J. McCarthy is about to heat up.

Head coach Kevin O’Connell told reporters in his Tuesday press conference that Murray and McCarthy will each take reps with the club’s first-team and second-team offense to begin training camp.

O’Connell also noted that Minnesota has a date in mind to choose the QB1, though he did not disclose it, according to the story. The story went on to say O'Connell met with everyone to talk about the vision and plan. Murray is fully expected to come away with the job after signing with the Vikings in the offseason. Assuming he wins the job, Murray gets a great supporting cast around him. He'll just need to stay healthy. We rank him 16th among our QBs, making him a solid QB2 option for this season.
