Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins limped over to the sideline during the fourth quarter of Sunday’s game against the Green Bay Packers unable to put any weight down on his right leg. He was then carted off the field.
An MRI on Monday revealed the Vikings’ worst fears: Cousins would likely miss the remainder of the season after suffering a torn Achilles tendon.
Minnesota announced Wednesday that Cousins underwent successful surgery at Twin Cities Orthopedics in Eagan, Minnesota.

"What reenergized me was talking with Kirk and, the way his mind works, he’s so process-oriented and so intentional, he’s talking about being back at OTAs, doing all the different things and what his schedule’s going to be," Minnesota general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah said Wednesday.
