MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — Minnesota Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer said he expects Kirk Cousins back at training camp Thursday after the starting quarterback was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list earlier this week.
Cousins, along with backups Nate Stanley and Kellen Mond, as well as wide receiver Myron Mitchell, were placed on the list Monday.
The Washington Post reported this week the Vikings have the lowest vaccination rate of any NFL team, with 64.5% of players fully vaccinated.
On Saturday, the team only had one quarterback available for practice — third-year man Jake Browning, who earned praise from Zimmer after taking every rep.
