Kirk Cousins has played his last game for the Vikings in the 2023 season. He will have to come back from a major injury at age 36 and sign a new contract with the team, if he is going to play another one.
An MRI on Monday morning showed Cousins tore the Achilles' tendon in his right heel, confirming what a source said on Sunday was the quarterback's initial diagnosis. He will need surgery on his ankle and will miss the rest of the season.
The timeline and details of his surgery will be determined this week, the team announced.
