Minnesota Vikings quarterback, Kirk Cousins, 35, underwent a successful surgery for a season-ending Achilles tear. Cousins had been having arguably his best season in the NFL, leaving his future with the team uncertain.
Vikings Coach Kevin O'Connell has expressed hope for Cousins' return to the team in 2024. Cousins, aged 35, is also determined to play for as long as possible, despite an uncertain future.
Prior to the injury, Cousins had been instrumental in helping the Vikings recover from a 1-4 start to win three straight games, putting them back in the playoff picture at 4-4.
The Vikings are preparing rookie Jaren Hall to start in Cousins' place and have also acquired Joshua Dobbs from the Arizona Cardinals following Cousins' injury.
Despite the uncertain future, Cousins expressed his love for football and his privilege of being in the NFL. His dream is to play long enough for his sons to remember their father playing in the league.
