Kirk Cousins Expected to Start for Vikings vs. Packers After Tuesday Trade

Newly acquired quarterback Kirk Cousins is expected to start Sunday for the Minnesota Vikings against the Green Bay Packers. Traded from the Las Vegas Raiders on Tuesday amidst a two-game Minnesota losing streak, Cousins provides an immediate upgrade with Kyler Murray dealing with a hamstring injury. Prior to the trade, Cousins was performing well in Las Vegas, and his addition is expected to boost top receivers Justin Jefferson, T.J. Hockenson, and Jordan Addison.
