Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins was ruled out of Week 8’s game vs. NFC North rival the Packers with an ankle injury.
Coach Kevin O’Connell told reporters that “based on the initial examination,” it appears that Cousins suffered an Achilles injury, per NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero. He is expected to undergo an MRI to get an official diagnosis.
Cousins was shuffling backwards while looking for a teammate to throw a pass to, and he appeared to injure his ankle when he planted his right foot. Therefore, this was ruled as a non-contact injury.
