Fans of the veteran QB may want to close their eyes.
Kirk Cousins is making strides in his recovery from a season-ending Achilles injury, but a recent incident involving his son almost derailed his progress.
A viral clip captured Cousins playing with his children, during which one of them inadvertently stepped on his surgically repaired Achilles while attempting to climb onto his back. In the video, Cousins can be heard cautioning his son against standing on his Achilles, prompting the curious child to ask which one it is.

The incident sparked humor among fans, with one suggesting the child might be a Packers fan aiming to thwart the Vikings’ success.
Thankfully, Cousins’ younger and lighter son was the one who inadvertently stepped on his Achilles, preventing any serious harm.
As Cousins navigates his recovery, he also faces uncertainty regarding his future with the Vikings. Set to enter free agency after signing a two-year, $66 million contract in 2022, Cousins’ contract demands reportedly hover around $40 million per season, a figure that may pose challenges for the Vikings in negotiations.
