The Minnesota Vikings have added Kirk Cousins without releasing another quarterback, leaving four on their 53-man roster, according to NBC Sports. Mike Florio expects Cousins to play Sunday, although coach Kevin O’Connell has been coy about his status.
Kyler Murray, Carson Wentz, and Max Brosmer remain on the roster alongside Cousins.
Cousins expected to take over
Florio described Minnesota as committed to Cousins, writing, “They’re all in with Cousins.” His expectation that Cousins will play Sunday is the clearest indication in the report of the team’s direction at quarterback, rather than an announced starting decision from O’Connell.
Murray is still dealing with a hamstring injury. Florio characterized Murray’s benching as having become a firm move away from him as the Vikings turn to Cousins.
Wentz remains on roster after Monday night
Wentz has not been released following what Florio described as a poor Monday night performance. Florio suggested Minnesota may be keeping him for now because of Murray’s hamstring injury.
That explanation is Florio’s assessment of the roster situation, not a stated reason from the team. He also predicted that Wentz’s benching would eventually lead to his release.
