The Minnesota Vikings did not have the type of season they hoped for in 2023. Injuries certainly derailed their season after losing multiple key starters for large portions of the season. Quarterback Kirk Cousins may have been the most impactful injury of the season when he tore his achilles in week eight against the Green Bay Packers.
However, news has surfaced recently regarding Cousins’ recovery and what his 2024 availability looks like.
Cousins is gonna turn 36 before next season. He is coming off that ruptured Achilles. I’m told, though, he’s ahead of schedule in his recovery,” Pelissero reported. “… He’s actually going to be throwing before the combine next month, so everything is tracking in a good direction for Kirk Cousins to be fully ready to roll for the Vikings, or whoever he might be with in 2024.”
Cousins threw for 2,331 yards, 18 touchdowns, and five interceptions while completing 69.5% of his passes and posted a passer rating of 103.8 prior to going down with his injury. He was on track to have one of his best seasons ever at quarterback.
After backing up Robert Griffin III for three seasons, he became Washington’s full-time starter in 2015. Before signing with the Vikings in 2018, he was with Washington for six years, making one Pro Bowl.
