For the most part, he looked the part in his first taste of NFL action, but now he&#8217;ll get an even bigger opportunity, as well as a bigger challenge, as the <a href=\"https:\/\/fansided.com\/nfl\/las-vegas-raiders\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Raiders<\/a> take on the Houston Texans in Week 2 of the preseason on Thursday night. <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-1\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"bx\">Mendoza is expected to play pretty much the entirety of the first half, which should give us an even better look at his progress, as well as potentially getting to see the Raiders&#8217; future with some of the first-team offense working with him instead of Kirk Cousins. Meanwhile, it should be a good test for the Vegas defense as well, with the <a href=\"https:\/\/fansided.com\/nfl\/houston-texans\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Texans<\/a> expected to play C.J. Stroud and several of their starters as well. <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-2\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"c0\">In the NFL preseason, of course, we&#8217;re also looking to see the unsung heroes and guys fighting for roster spots shine.
