After dealing with a short COVID-19 quarantine, things seem to be back to normal for the Minnesota Vikings quarterback.
Having returned to the practice facility yesterday, Kirk Cousins spoke to the media this morning before joint practices were set to begin. The bright side for the Vikings? Cousins will be a full participant in practice.
Kirk Cousins said he has been cleared for a full day of practice today. If he were going to miss 5 days of camp for COVID-19, he said, these past 5 days were ideal. The span included a travel day, an off day and a preseason game he might not have played in. pic.twitter.com/VJHc3Bd9BA

Cousins spoke on how he contracted COVID-19 at the right time and he would be right. The early portion of the preseason is the time where the starting quarterback usually plays the least. Going into the second game, Cousins and the first team offense will be getting a lot more run.
The joint practices against the San Francisco 49ers are going to be a lot of fun.
