Vikings Face Uncertainty After Kirk Cousins' Injury

The Minnesota Vikings are facing a major setback after quarterback Kirk Cousins suffered a torn Achilles tendon, likely ending his season. With a 4-4 record, the team must now consider their options moving forward. Fifth-rounder Jaren Hall finished Sunday's game but coach Kevin O'Connell did not fully commit to him as the starter going forward. The Vikings could explore signing a veteran quarterback like Matt Ryan or acquiring one before the trade deadline. The team also needs to add a third quarterback for practice purposes. The loss of Cousins may impact the return of injured wide receiver Justin Jefferson. Additionally, the injury raises questions about Cousins' future with the team, as his contract will expire next March.
