Vikings QB Kirk Cousins Placed on Reserve/COVID-19 List, Will Miss Game Against Packers

Vikings placed quarterback Kirk Cousins on the reserve/COVID-19 list, the team announced Friday.

Cousins, 33, is unvaccinated and tests daily, following the NFL COVID-19 protocols. He self-reported symptoms while testing positive, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero.

Cousins has not explicitly stated whether he has been vaccinated or not but has not shied away on his stance concerning COVID-19 vaccines. In July 2020, Cousins said he "respected other people's concerns" but planned to take a "survival of the fittest approach" to COVID-19. But, later in September '20, he said he would take necessary precautions to prevent the spread of the virus.
