Vikings coach Kevin O'Connell officially confirmed the move, days after Minnesota acquired Cousins in a trade with the Las Vegas Raiders on Tuesday.\n\nThe Packers had been expecting Cousins to get the nod, and coach Matt LaFleur's read on the situation proved correct. Cousins arrives in Minnesota after throwing 20 touchdown passes across nine starts with the Raiders this season before the trade sent him back to the Vikings.\n\nMinnesota also trimmed its roster options for Sunday, ruling out five players on the final injury report. Among them are starting linebacker Blake Cashman, starting tight end T.J. Hockenson and starting defensive lineman Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins, leaving the Vikings thinner on both sides of the ball as they head into a rivalry matchup.\n\nFor Green Bay, the week brings a different kind of challenge than the season opener, when the Packers faced Kyler Murray and Carson Wentz. Now they prepare for a quarterback who knows the organization well, lining up across from his former team at Lambeau Field.","published_at":"2026-11-13T23:34:29.699473+00:00","source_count":5,"written_from":[{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Vikings rule out 5 players, name Kirk Cousins starting QB vs. Packers","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/vikings-rule-5-players-name-213802714.html"},{"outlet":"Pro Football Talk","publisher":"NBC Sports","title":"Kirk Cousins will start for Vikings on Sunday","url":"https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/kirk-cousins-will-start-for-vikings-on-sunday"},{"outlet":"The Athletic","publisher":"The Athletic","title":"Newly acquired Kirk Cousins to start for Vikings on Sunday vs. Packers","url":"https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7779490/2026/11/13/newly-acquired-kirk-cousins-to-start-for-vikings-on-sunday-vs-packers/"}],"more_coverage":[{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Kirk Cousins is expected to start for the Vikings in Week 10","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/kirk-cousins-expected-start-vikings-030949047.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Cousins on Track to Start; Vikings Superstar Very Happy","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/cousins-track-start-vikings-superstar-152646576.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Justin Jefferson and T.J.
