The Minnesota Vikings “fear an Achilles tendon injury” to quarterback Kirk Cousins, head coach Kevin O’Connell said after his team’s 24-10 victory over the Green Bay Packers.
A league source says the Vikings believe Cousins it was torn. The veteran quarterback will undergo tests on Monday in Minnesota to confirm it.
Cousins limped off the field in the fourth quarter after being sacked by Packers defender Kenny Clark. Kirk was evaluated on the bench before being taken to the locker room.

Facing a third-and-19 in the fourth quarter at Lambeau Field, the experienced player dropped back to pass. At the top of his fall, feeling the pressure, his leg twisted incorrectly. He tried to climb through the cavity but immediately fell to the ground.
The quarterback was 23 of 31 for 274 yards and two touchdowns before the injury. He was replaced by rookie Jaren Hall, who finished 3-of-4 for 23 yards.
Minnesota improved to 4-4 with the win, while the Packers fell to 2-5.
In recent weeks, the Vikings they had changed their Playoff odds from almost zero to potentially even likely.
Meanwhile, superstar receiver Justin Jefferson is on the disabled list with a hamstring strain.
