Kirk Cousins is one of the most durable players in the National Football League.
During his four seasons with the Minnesota Vikings, he has only missed one game. That was Week 17 last season when he tested positive for COVID-19. Outside of that positive test, he has barely had a notable sprain or muscle strain.
That made today’s news even more surprising, as Cousins left training camp practice early.
However, the way head coach Kevin O’Connell phrased this at his press conference raised an eyebrow. Could this be a long-term issue? It’s possible, as is COVID-19.
