Kirk Cousins not expected for Falcons' offseason workouts

Kirk Cousins wants to be a starting quarterback, which he made clear in one-on-one meetings with Falcons general manager Terry Fontenot, owner Arthur Blank and his head coach. Raheem Morris said Tuesday the Falcons are still comfortable keeping Cousins as the backup to Michael Penix Jr., but after those meetings the likelihood of Cousins playing in Atlanta remains unlikely at best. There's even less of a chance Cousins will attend offseason voluntary workouts, Morris said. "I'm not going to be foolish to think that he's going to show up for voluntary work," the coach said Tuesday at the NFL's annual league meeting.
