O’Connell Names 38-Year-Old Cousins the Vikings’ Starting QB in Sunday’s Game at Green Bay – WTOP News
- Vikings coach Kevin O'Connell confirmed that quarterback Kirk Cousins will start against the Green Bay Packers on Sunday after Minnesota reacquired him from the Las Vegas Raiders on Tuesday.
- Minnesota sought a replacement after quarterback Carson Wentz completed only 32% of his passes in a 23-6 loss to Buffalo last Monday. The Vikings offense has failed to score more than 16 points in any of its last three games.
- "I'm grateful to be coming to a team that has a lot of ability," Cousins said Wednesday. Teammates and coaches express confidence he can quickly master the offense and help the 6-2 Vikings improve.
- The Vikings ruled out tight end T.J. Hockenson and linebacker Blake Cashman, while Green Bay will be without running back Josh Jacobs and edge rusher Micah Parsons. Both teams face significant roster challenges for Sunday.
- This divisional matchup carries major implications for the NFC North, where the Vikings and Detroit Lions chase the lead. A victory would allow Minnesota to complete a regular-season sweep of the 6-3 Packers following a 39-22 win on September 13.
