Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins is feared to have torn his Achilles in the team's win over the Green Bay Packers on Sunday afternoon. Head coach Kevin O'Connell made that announcement during his post-game comments, which soured the feeling of a third straight win for Minnesota. Multiple reports say that Cousins indeed tore his Achilles, but an MRI will confirm what the Vikings unfortunately believe will be the diagnosis. CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.
He was eventually said to be dealing with an ankle injury, however, replays of the injury occurring saw the calf reverberation that New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers dealt with in Week 1 of this season. Rodgers has been nursing his surgically repaired Achilles, which is why many drew the comparison right away. Cousins finished the game 23 of 31 through the air for 274 yards with two passing touchdowns and no interceptions.
