It has been four months since Kirk Cousins ruptured his right Achilles, but the quarterback is already showing progress in his recovery. A recent video posted on social media displayed Cousins backpedaling and throwing in an indoor tennis facility. He expressed his optimism by stating that he was “encouraged by the progress!”
During interviews at the Super Bowl, Cousins mentioned that he is on track in his recovery process. He fully expects to be healthy enough to participate in OTAs and minicamp later this spring. This is great news for the Minnesota Vikings, as Cousins’ return will strengthen their offense.
With his contract set to void on March 13, the Vikings are the only team allowed to negotiate with Cousins’ agent this week at the combine. Having one of the team doctors perform his surgery has allowed the Vikings to closely monitor his progress. Both the general manager, Kwesi Adofo-Mensah, and coach Kevin O’Connell have expressed their desire to bring Cousins back to the team.
Despite the injury, Cousins has made it clear that he wants to finish his career in Minnesota. He understands the importance of the deal’s structure over just the dollar amount. It is evident that Cousins is committed to his rehabilitation and eager to return to the field stronger than ever.
Kirk Cousins’ determination and positive attitude towards his recovery are promising signs for the Minnesota Vikings. Fans can look forward to seeing their quarterback back in action for the upcoming season, ready to lead the team to success.
