If you're watching the Seahawks at the Raiders this Sunday, there's a rookie to know. The Vikings reacquired Kirk Cousins before Tuesday's NFL trade deadline, sending a 2027 third-round pick to Las Vegas. That leaves No. 1 pick Fernando Mendoza set to make his first career start against the defending Super Bowl champions, according to an ESPN report.

Mendoza piled up 41 touchdowns to six interceptions at Indiana

Mendoza won the Heisman Trophy and led Indiana to the national title. Seattle, meanwhile, stood pat at the deadline after landing left guard Quenton Nelson from the Colts two weeks ago.

  • Also on the Raiders' roster: Aidan O'Connell, who started 17 games
  • Chiefs' deadline add: Colts receiver Josh Downs
  • Vikings' next game: Sunday at Lambeau Field against the Packers
