Key Points:
- Kirk Cousins was traded back to the Minnesota Vikings mid-season, making him the first quarterback with 20 touchdown passes to switch teams during a single NFL season.
- Cousins ranks second in the league for touchdown passes after nine games with the Raiders and can potentially play up to 18 games this season due to bye week scheduling.
- During his previous six years with the Vikings, Cousins ranked fourth in the league in passing yards and touchdown passes, highlighting his strong history with the team.
- Cousins returns to the Vikings following a Week 8 Achilles tendon injury sustained while throwing for 274 yards and two touchdowns in his last game with Minnesota this season.
- The Vikings will be without receiver Jordan Addison due to a thumb injury, but Justin Jefferson is available, and the Cousins-Jefferson connection could be key to ending Minnesota’s two-game losing streak.
