MINNEAPOLIS — Sunday night's border battle between the Minnesota Vikings and the Green Bay Packers just lost one of its star players.
Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins has been put on the Reserve/COVID-19 list and is out for the game.
The Vikings are 7-8 and likely need to win their remaining two games for a shot at making the playoffs.
The team will also be missing wide receiver Adam Thielen, who was placed on injured reserve after reaggravating an ankle sprain in the Week 16 loss to the Los Angeles Rams.
Head coach Mike Zimmer says Sean Mannion will be the starting quarterback against the Pack Sunday night.
