“Sad Day For the Entire NFL”: Fans Get Emotional As Vikings Players Tear Up After Learning About Kirk Cousins’ Injury Status

The Minnesota Vikings ultimately broke the curse, winning two consecutive games, but they lost their beloved quarterback Kirk Cousins along the way to a season-ending injury. What made the news even more heartbreaking was that his teammates burst into tears when they learned of his injury.

According to a recent tweet from ML Football, the Vikings locker room became agitated and sad after learning that Kirk Cousins had suffered a season-ending injury by tearing his Achilles.

The Vikings’ great quarterback sustained this injury during a recent game against the Green Bay Packers. As a result, head coach Kevin O’Connell has expressed concern over his top quarterback’s injury while waiting for an MRI. With this news, the emotional impact of Cousins’ leaving became obvious in the locker room, with his teammates clearly affected.

This reaction demonstrates their deep respect and admiration for their four-time Pro Bowl quarterback. Cousins is proof of this, as he was observed clapping for his teammates while being carted off the field. Cousins was seen cheering on his teammates in a video shared by ML Football on X (previously Twitter), despite his acute suffering.

Much like Cousins’ teammates, the fans are also overwhelmed by this injury news. One of the fans wrote in the comments.
