A little more than three months ago, Kirk Cousins’ 2023 season ended at Lambeau Field when the suffered a torn Achilles.
On Thursday night, the Minnesota Vikings quarterback took part in the NFL Honors, even taking part in a choreographed dance routine.
It was interesting, to say the least.
OH OKAY @KirkCousins8!!

Not surprisingly, many observers had the same thing to say about this video of Cousins, noting that his Achilles must be healing pretty well.

Cousins has spent the last six seasons in Minnesota, but with his contract set to void next month, he’s about to enter free agency.
“What a great question,” Cousins said at his end of season press conference about what would be “the most important thing” for him in free agency.
“What a great question. I think it ultimately is about winning football games. And so that will be the most important thing, winning football games. With that, no one thing is in a vacuum. Usually, you win football games because there are some other factors that are really important to me that are going to have to be there to be able to win football games. So it ultimately all ties together. The factors work together. But I certainly believe we can do that here.”
