Reports coming from within the building at TCO Performance Center suggest that quarterback Kirk Cousins is planning on joining his team on the field this Sunday when the Minnesota Vikings host their division rivals, the Detroit Lions, as the Vikings continue to fight for their playoff lives.
Obviously, Kirk Cousins is not returning to game action this year, after the Achilles tear in week 8, but his return to the sideline will be invaluable in many ways. Kirk will bring his leadership in an alternate but effective way, he will be able to mentor Nick Mullens through game time scenarios, and most importantly, he will be the inspiration the team may need to beat this “not your father’s Detroit Lions” team on Christmas eve.
