Kirk Cousins is headed back to the Minnesota Vikings in a deadline trade with the Las Vegas Raiders completed Tuesday afternoon.
Cousins knows the city, coach and playbook extremely well from his six seasons in Minnesota from 2018 to 2023, a run that ended with an Achilles injury at Green Bay in October of 2023.
With the Vikings in the thick of a tightly contested NFC North race and headed to Lambeau Field on Sunday, Cousins could be the starter when Minnesota and the Packers line up this weekend.
