Won't play Saturday Cousins won't play in Saturday's preseason game against the Broncos, Chad Graff of The Athletic reports.

Impact The Vikings will hold out 30 players, including Cousins, RB Dalvin Cook and WRs Adam Thielen and Justin Jefferson. Coach Mike Zimmer likely will give his starters some run in the second and/or third preseason game, but it may be just a few drives.

Cousins returns to Vikings quarterback room after quarantine

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins has been activated from the COVID-19 reserve list

AUGUST 5, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Returning to practice Cousins has been activated from the COVID-19 reserve list for Thursday's practice, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact As expected, Cousins will rejoin his teammates after missing five days. He was a close contact of rookie QB Kellen Mond, who tested positive for COVID-19 over the weekend and remains out of action Thursday. The third-round pick may eventually be a threat to Cousins, but the 33-year-old is safe for the time being and even has guaranteed base salaries for the final two years (2021-22) of his contract.

Browning 'taking charge' of Vikings, with other QBs absent

Jake Browning's first two seasons in the NFL were exclusively behind-the-scenes work on the Minnesota Vikings practice squad

AUGUST 4, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Likely to return Thursday Coach Mike Zimmer expects Cousins (undisclosed) to return to the Vikings' facilities Thursday, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.

Impact If Zimmer's comment comes to pass, Cousins merely was a close contact of Kellen Mond -- who test positive for COVID-19 on Saturday -- and didn't catch the virus himself. Once the Vikings activate Cousins from the reserve/COVID-19 list, the QB room will inch closer to back to normal, with just Mond out of commission for another five days, at least.
