Minnesota Vikings send quarterback Kirk Cousins home from training camp due to undisclosed illness

EAGAN, Minn. -- The Minnesota Vikings sent quarterback Kirk Cousins home from training camp Thursday because of an undisclosed illness, according to coach Kevin O'Connell.

Speaking after the team's early-afternoon walk-through, O'Connell said the team was not yet ready to say whether Cousins has COVID-19. The team will have a full practice later Thursday afternoon.

"We're still in that process of trying to go through all that," O'Connell said, "and make sure first and foremost: 'What are you feeling? What's going on?' And then going through our in-house process to make sure that if that does end being [COVID], we're on top of it.
