Minnesota Vikings' Kirk Cousins cleared to practice after COVID-19 absence

EAGAN, Minn. -- Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins said Wednesday he had been cleared for his normal practice workload after returning from five days away due to a positive COVID-19 test.

The Vikings have been targeting their two days of practice this week against the San Francisco 49ers as the most important days of their training camp. Cousins is expected to fill his normal role with the first-team offense.

Cousins said he felt "a little lousy" last Thursday and reported the symptoms to the Vikings' medical officials. He returned to the team facility Tuesday for meetings.
