Falcons QB Cousins remains on track in recovery from torn right Achilles as team approaches minicamp

FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. (AP) — Atlanta Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins' recovery from a torn Achilles tendon remains on track as the team approaches next week's mandatory minicamp.

Coach Raheem Morris said Monday he can't ask for Cousins to do more in the minicamp because “he’s done almost everything” in the organized team activities. Cousins was again on the field for Monday's launch of the final week of OTAs.

Rookie Michael Penix Jr. continues to learn under Cousins, 35, who suffered the torn right Achilles tendon in the 2023 season with the Minnesota Vikings.

“He’s done just about everything that you can potentially do, and I just see him doing it more and more as we keep going,” said Morris of Cousins. “It’s been nice to see him just get healthy.”
