O'Connell: Kirk Cousins feared to have torn Achilles in Vikings' Week 8 win
Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins is feared to have a torn Achilles tendon, head coach Kevin O'Connell said.
What It Means:
This would be the end of the veteran's season. Ever the model of consistency, he has just missed a single game since the start of the 2015-16 season. The team will have him undergo more tests over the next 24 hours to confirm the diagnosis. Jaren Hall served as the backup on Sunday, and Nick Mullens is currently on injured reserve. The Vikings, now 4-4 on the year, could look to the veteran QB market.
Before exiting, Cousins was 23-of-31 passing for 274 yards and 2 touchdowns. He also had 9 yards on the ground, posting 19.86 FanDuel points.
