The Minnesota Vikings will look a little different as quarterback Kirk Cousins will miss Sunday’s game against the Atlanta Falcons and the rest of the season after suffering a torn Achilles in last week’s win over the Green Bay Packers.
But although Cousins is back in the Twin Cities recovering from surgery, the Vikings found a way to get him on the field in Atlanta as the entire team wore shirts honoring the quarterback during warmups for Sunday’s game.

The shirts, which can be purchased at ViralStyle.com, feature several images of Cousins including one of him hitting The Griddy and another of him embodying his “Kirko Chainz” persona with a white T-shirt and several chains.
Sunday’s game will mark the first time he’s missed a game due to injury since signing with the Vikings in 2018 although he missed a Week 17 game against the Packers in 2021 after testing positive for COVID-19.
The Vikings will look to win their fourth straight game on Sunday afternoon as Jaren Hall makes his first career start at quarterback in place of Cousins.
