Kirk Cousins might be throwing passes for the Minnesota Vikings THIS Sunday against the Green Bay Packers. That’s right, Vikings general manager Nolan Teasley just flat out hinted Cousins could jump straight into the starting lineup for the upcoming game. Talk about a rapid turnaround, huh?
The QB Carousel Keeps Spinning in Minnesota
This whole situation blew up after Kyler Murray went down with a Grade 2 hamstring strain during Monday’s loss to the Buffalo Bills. And man, his replacement, Carson Wentz, struggled big time in that game. It was clear something had to give. So, what did the Vikings do? They went out and acquired Kirk Cousins from the Las Vegas Raiders the very next day. They wasted absolutely no time making a move.
“Didn’t Acquire Kirk To Not Play”
Teasley didn’t mince words when talking to reporters on Wednesday. He said the ultimate decision on who starts when Kyler Murray is healthy would be up to head coach Kevin O’Connell. “I would leave that to Kevin, he’s going to put us in the best position to succeed,” Teasley stated. But then came the kicker, the ten words that really tell you everything you need to know about the Vikings’ intentions: “But we also didn’t acquire Kirk to not play.” O’Connell himself weighed in, discussing the Murray injury and Wentz’s performance, but it’s Teasley’s blunt assessment that screams loudest about Cousins’ immediate future.
So, get ready, Minnesota, because this Sunday’s matchup against the Green Bay Packers just got a whole lot more interesting. Every Vikings fan will be glued to their screens to see who lines up under center. The next few days are going to be wild in the Twin Cities, that’s for sure.
