Mendoza didn't play in Sunday's 38-33 win over the Jets.
With Kirk Cousins helping orchestrate a second-half comeback, Mendoza stayed glued to the sideline for the third straight contest after playing 10 offensive snaps in Week 5 against New England. The Raiders are 4-4 with Cousins playing reasonably well to keep the team in the postseason mix. Mendoza figures to get his shot if/when the Raiders are eliminated from postseason contention.
