This is an absolutely brutal break for the Vikings. The Vikings are 7-8 and need to win both of their remaining games to get above .500.
They probably weren’t going to beat the Packers anyways. They’re damn sure not going to beat the Packers with their starting quarterback.
Vikings now officially have placed QB Kirk Cousins on Reserve/COVID-19.

If the Vikings drop this game Sunday to the Packers, it’s almost certainly game over for their season.
If you’re a fan of the Vikings, you have to be very concerned right now, and that’s putting it lightly!
