Kirk Cousins had a rough debut season for the Atlanta Falcons and was eventually benched in favor of rookie Michael Penix Jr. for the final three games of the 2024 campaign.
But on Tuesday, Cousins revealed he was dealing with shoulder and elbow injuries he suffered in Week 10 against the New Orleans Saints.
"I, against the Saints, got hit pretty good in my right shoulder and elbow and from there kind of dealing with that was something I was working through and just never really could get it to where I wanted it," he said during an appearance on NFL Network's Good Morning Football (h/t Marc Raimondi of ESPN).
