The Minnesota Vikings managed to win their third-straight game of the 2023 season, defeating the Green Bay Packers by a score of 24-10.

However, they had to close out the game without their starting QB Kirk Cousins. The 35-year-old quarterback left the game in the fourth quarter with what was initially called an ankle injury.

Two things made the injury scary. Firstly, it was a non-contact injury, and then, Minnesota very quickly ruled him out for the remainder of the game. Following the game, reports have suggested that it may be worst-case scenario.
