Summary
Kevin O’Connell said Wednesday it is still too early to fully commit to Kirk Cousins starting Sunday, even after Minnesota acquired him Tuesday to address its quarterback play.
A 6-2 Vikings team expects Cousins to play, O’Connell said, but he wants the veteran comfortable in an offense he already knows from their earlier stint together.
That familiarity could speed Cousins’ transition, though O’Connell noted the scheme has changed since Cousins last played for Minnesota in 2023.
Green Bay is likely preparing for Cousins anyway, leaving the formal Week 10 starter decision as the main unresolved piece before Sunday.
