When the Minnesota Vikings lost quarterback Kirk Cousins to a season-ending torn Achilles tendon against the Green Bay Packers, the season was thought to be over.
Two games later, the Vikings have won five in a row and Josh Dobbs has taken the NFL world by storm.
Who has been a big part of his success early on? Cousins.
On Friday afternoon, Cousins spoke to the media for the first time after his injury and surgery to repair his Achilles tendon and he shed some light on that and more, including his future with the team.
“Certainly your mind goes there and you know that’s coming,” Cousins said about his contract that will expire after the 2023 season. “But similar to what we said in April or August, March will happen in March. February will happen in February. Those conversations will happen, but it’s just not time yet. We’ve got so much to focus on with this season. Guys are playing so well. And that’s where our attention really needs to be.”
