Kirk Cousins wasted no time as he underwent successful surgery to repair the torn Achilles tendon in his right leg early Wednesday morning.
The Vikings and quarterback Kirk Cousins posted on social media that he had successful surgery in Eagan, Minnesota at Twin Cities Orthopedics and the surgery was led by Dr. Chris Coetzee.
Cousins would take to social media and thanked the doctor and the medical team for their hard work while showing appreciation for the prayers he received from fans.
“Surgery was a success! Grateful for your prayers, Dr. Coetzee’s abilities, and our medical team. Would appreciate continued prayers! One day at a time…” Cousins wrote.
The Vikings placed Cousins on injured reserve Tuesday so he will miss the rest of the season after surgery.
Cousins tore his Achilles this past Sunday in the Vikings’ 24-10 win over the Packers. He dropped back and planted his right cleat in the Lambeau Field grass before stumbling forward. He managed to fall forward and protect the ball as Kenny Clark touched him down for a sack on the play, and hopped off the field to the sideline.

The team plans to start rookie Jaren Hall at quarterback on Sunday in Atlanta, coach Kevin O’Connell stated this week.
The Vikings traded for former Cardinals quarterback Josh Dobbs, who could be ready to back up Hall on Sunday and might be a candidate to start in the coming weeks.
