Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins has successfully undergone surgery to repair his right Achilles tendon after suffering a season-ending tear during Sunday's game against Green Bay. The 36-year-old quarterback announced the news on Wednesday morning through his official social media account, expressing gratitude for the support, prayers, and the skills of Dr. Coetzee and the medical team.

The exact length of Cousins' recovery process has not been disclosed. Comparisons have been made to Aaron Rodgers, who tore his Achilles tendon in Week 1 and is currently in the walking stage of his rehabilitation. However, it is unclear if Rodgers is close to returning to football activities. The utmost importance for Cousins is that the surgery was successful, marking the official start of his recovery journey.

As soon as Cousins is able, he is expected to be present on the Vikings' sideline during games, offering support and guidance to fellow quarterbacks Jaren Hall and Joshua Dobbs. The Vikings' coaching staff hopes that Cousins' experience and mentorship will assist in the development of the team's future quarterback.

The Vikings organization wishes Cousins a speedy recovery as they prepare for the remainder of the season. The team will continue to update fans on his progress and provide any further information regarding his return to the field.
