Kirk Cousins, the quarterback for the Minnesota Vikings, hurt his right ankle during the team’s game against the Green Bay Packers. Early in the fourth quarter, with the Vikings up 24–10, Cousins left the game. After Cousins was sacked twice in a row, leading to a thwarted field goal attempt, the injury happened.
NEW DELHI: During the Minnesota Vikings’ game against the Green Bay Packers on Sunday, quarterback Kirk Cousins suffered a right ankle injury that required him to exit the game early in the fourth quarter. When Cousins got hurt, the Vikings had a 24-point advantage.
Cousins sustained his injury after being sacked twice in a row; on the second sack, Greg Joseph attempted a 44-yard ( goal attempt that was blocked.
Cousins cautiously made his way to the sidelines following the series, where he was seen to medically.
The next time the ball was in play, the Packers lost it on a down at the Minnesota 10-yard line. Cousins was assessed on the sidelines at this period, and it was concluded that he couldn’t play any more.
As the fantasy football playoffs draw closer, injuries will be a major determinant of which teams emerge victorious. A few rising talents were injured at the wide receiver position, but one of the finest receivers in the league is anticipated to return this week.
As Week 14 approaches, let’s examine the injury status of Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson, Houston Texans wide receiver Tank Dell, and Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson.
It’s indisputable that Jefferson is the best wide receiver in the NFL when healthy. The Vikings were 1-4 at the time of his injury, which occurred in Week 5 against the Kansas City Chiefs. When Jefferson was placed on injured reserve, it appeared as though the Vikings might not make it through the season.
QB Kirk Cousins was hurt not long after Jefferson was hurt. Nevertheless, Minnesota acquired backup quarterback Joshua Dobbs through trade, and as of right now, they are 6-6 and very much in the running for an NFC playoff berth.
The Vikings will take on the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday after having a bye. Jefferson is now a member of the active roster and is prepared to play. Expect the Vikings to employ him early and often, and don’t be shocked if he returns soon to playing in key games.
