Kirk Cousins Loses Another Key Target Before Vikings Return
Jordan Addison is inactive, leaving Kirk Cousins without three key targets for his Vikings return against Green Bay.
Kirk Cousins is poised to etch his name into NFL history when he returns to the Minnesota Vikings in their upcoming game against the Green Bay Packers. Starting for the Las Vegas Raiders last week, Cousins is set to lead Minnesota in Sunday's match at Lambeau Field. This move would make him the first quarterback to start for different teams in back-to-back weeks since the practice became official in 1950, as reported by ESPN's Adam Schefter.
The distinction hinges on the timing rather than simply playing for two teams in one season. Cousins transitioned from one starting position to another without any gap between them, joining Minnesota on Tuesday, and being named the starter by head coach Kevin O’Connell on Friday. This is a comeback to the place where Cousins bid farewell to the Vikings last season, where he tore his Achilles during a victory over Green Bay in Week 8 of 2023.
