The Minnesota Vikings finally managed to break the bad omen, clinching two back-to-back victories, but have ended up losing their much-loved quarterback Kirk Cousins along the way to a season-ending injury. What made this news even more upsetting was when his teammates teared up after learning about his injury status.

Vikings’ Emotional Response to Kirk Cousins Getting Sidelined

The star quarterback for the Vikings sustained this injury during their recent matchup against the Green Bay Packers. Consequently, HC Kevin O’Connell has expressed his concern about his star QB’s injury, as they await confirmation via an MRI. With this development, the emotional impact of Cousins’ departure was extremely palpable in the locker room, as his teammates were visibly affected.

This reaction is a testament to the immense respect and affection they hold for their four-time Pro Bowler QB. After all, Cousins himself is proof of it, as he was seen clapping for his teammates while he was being carted off the field. In a video posted by ML Football on X (formerly Twitter), Cousins was seen cheering on for his fellow mates even when he was in excruciating pain.

Much like Cousins’ teammates, the fans are also overwhelmed by this injury news. One of the fans wrote in the comments, “Sad day for the entire NFL.. 😢🙏🏼”
