The Minnesota Vikings got some bad news on Monday. Quarterback Kirk Cousins underwent an MRI this morning that confirmed a right Achilles tendon tear.
Cousins, 35, will miss the rest of the season.
According to the team, the timeline and details of his upcoming surgery will be determined this week.
The 12-year veteran tore his Achilles in the fourth quarter of Minnesota’s 24-10 road win over the Packers on Sunday.
This comes at the wrong time for the Vikings(4-4), as they have reeled off three consecutive wins. At this point, Jaren Hall will be the starter, but with the trade deadline on Tuesday, expect Minnesota to possibly make a move.
The injury also comes at the wrong time for Cousins, who can be a free agent in 2024. This season, in eight games, Cousins has thrown for 2331 yards, 18 touchdowns, and five interceptions.
