Kirk Cousins is back under center in Minnesota, and Kevin O'Connell wasted no time making it official. The Vikings head coach confirmed Friday that Cousins starts Week ten against Green Bay — a Packers squad Minnesota already torched thirty-nine to twenty-two back in Week one. The reunion is happening fast, and the pressure is real.
Speaking of injury chaos, the Seahawks are heading into their Week ten matchup against Las Vegas with four players ruled out, including quarterback Sam Darnold for the second straight week. Charles Cross, Quenton Nelson, and Leonard Williams are also out, leaving Seattle shorthanded on both lines. Drew Lock gets the nod under center after good news on his oblique.
Meanwhile the Vikings' injury report tells its own story — five players ruled out for the Packers game, including tight end T.J. Hockenson and wide receiver Jauan Jennings. Cousins walks into a thinned-out roster, with Jordan Addison listed as questionable with a thumb injury. Minnesota needs this win badly, and they're doing it short-staffed.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
