Redskins backup quarterback Kirk Cousins had a very strong performance in the team's preseason opener Thursday against the Titans.
Cousins completed 6 of 7 passes for 52 yards, while throwing a 3-yard touchdown pass to tight end Fred Davis. Cousins worked just the first two drives with the first-team offense, before turning the ball over to Rex Grossman.
Cousins is projected to be the backup this season behind Robert Griffin III, though there is still a remote chance Griffin might not be ready to return from knee surgery by Week 1.
