Vikings' Kirk Cousins Sidelined for Season with Torn Achilles
TL;DR Summary
Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins will miss the rest of the season after suffering a torn right Achilles tendon during Sunday's game against the Green Bay Packers. Cousins, who leads the NFL in touchdown passes this season, will undergo surgery, and plans for his recovery will be determined in the coming week. Rookie Jaren Hall is the likely option to start in Week 9, with veteran backup Nick Mullens eligible to return from injured reserve in Week 10. Cousins' injury is a significant blow to the Vikings, who will now have to navigate the remainder of the season without their star quarterback.
