Following his season-ending injury, social media is praising Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins. An MRI on Monday showed that Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins had torn his Achilles during the team’s victory over the Packers on Sunday. It happened right when the club and he were beginning to figure out how to put together a run of victories and get back into the playoff picture.
In addition to expressing sadness for Cousins, many are complimenting him for going to a Vikings Kids Club event on Monday night. At last night’s trick-or-treat event, Cousins was captured on camera signing autographs and chatting with some younger Vikings supporters.
@KirkCousins8 my nephew met you tonight at the Halloween party. You could have stayed away, you could have said no to an autograph. No one would have blamed you after the day you have had. Thank you for showing him that despite all the bad you can rise above it. #Vikings pic.twitter.com/HtZp2mq9xZ

The #Vikings had a Kids Club Trick-Or-Treat Trail last night, and Kirk Cousins still attended despite tearing his Achilles on Sunday.
He's a class act through and through.

Kirk Cousins might actually be the best person on the planet. If MSU brass had any even one normal human brain to share between all of them he’d be the face of the school everywhere you look. We have a PR savior sitting right in front of us!!! https://t.co/0KNH5V7hg4

In the fourth quarter of Minnesota’s 24-10 victory, Cousins sustained an injury that required him to be helped to the locker room. This marks Cousins’s first serious injury in his 12-year career.
Jaren Hall, a rookie selected in the fifth round out of BYU, is the only other healthy quarterback on the Vikings roster. He made his NFL pass debut against Green Bay in Week 8. For the rest of the season, this is not the best situation for the Vikings.
By the time his 2023 season comes to a conclusion, Cousins has completed 2,331 yards and 69.5 percent of his passes for touchdowns and interceptions.
