Sacked four times and hit twice more in his 30 dropbacks in Chicago on Monday night, Kirk Cousins winced a bit as he threw while warming up for the Vikings' walk-through session on Wednesday. Later, the team listed the quarterback as "limited" on their report with a rib injury; a source said an MRI had shown he has a cracked rib.
The injury report was an estimation, since the Vikings didn't technically practice, and Cousins returned to practice in full on Thursday. There is little doubt about his availability for Sunday's pivotal home game against the Rams.
