Atlanta Falcons receiver Drake London darted over the middle, his arms away from his body, his hands corralling a seven-yard reception from quarterback Kirk Cousins early in the second quarter in Sunday's 18-10 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers inside Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

The play marked London's third target and second catch of the game. Over the final 42 minutes Sunday, it proved to be his last of each.

"We didn't get the ball to Drake enough," Falcons coach Raheem Morris said after the game.

London was shadowed by Steeler CB Joey Porter Jr. and QB Kirk Cousins struggles both factored into London collecting just two passes. While it doesn't help owners now, the good news is things like this can often get corrected the following week, so the hope is the Falcons design some plays early on for London which hopefully gets the entire offense going.

The Falcons are signing Bears WR Darnell Mooney, giving them a key new playmaker for Kirk Cousins. Mooney gets a 3-year, $39M deal with $26M fully guaranteed.

This gives Atlanta a nice tertiary piece in a wide receiver room that is barren outside of Drake London at the moment. It may not be at No. 8, but there's no chance the Falcons leave the draft without at least one wide receiver after getting Kirk Cousins. Mooney's fantasy outlook will hinge on how many more guys they add between now and Week 1.

Kirk Cousins, the top free-agent QB on the market, has agreed to terms with the Atlanta Falcons, per sources. The Vikings pushed strongly for Cousins’s services, but in the end, the Falcons were going to go as far as they needed to make this happen.

Cousins provides an immediate upgrade to the entire Atlanta Falcons offense, spiking the value of Drake London, Kyle Pitts, and Bijan Robinson. The quarterback should be his usual QB1/QB2 fringe fantasy option in his new home.

Regardless of who the Vikings end up with to replace him will be a downgrade, lowering the stock of Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison.

The expected news has come from the Vikings.

An MRI has confirmed that quarterback Kirk Cousins tore his Achilles on Sunday, Minnesota announced on Monday.

The team noted that the timeline and details of Cousins’ upcoming surgery will be determined this week. The Vikings have the rookie Hall on their active roster at quarterback and Mannion on the practice squad. Mullens is on injured reserve and has to miss at least one more game before a potential return. Suddenly sitting at 4-4, it's possible the Vikings bring in another QB.

The Vikings believe QB Kirk Cousins suffered a torn Achilles during Sunday's win against the Packers.

There were reports saying the Vikings were very quiet in the locker room, despite winning by two touchdowns. Now we know why. These will be the first games Cousins has ever missed due to an injury. He missed one game due to COVID. Jaren Hall will likely take over as quarterback. The Vikings had bounced back to get to .500 at 4-4 following their 0-3 and 1-4 starts. But this one certainly hurts and now the question is did we just see Cousins' last game ever as a Viking?

Vikings QB Kirk Cousins is out with an ankle injury.

Cousins was carted off the field and was initially ruled an ankle injury after being in the medical tent. Cousins finished 23/31 for 274 yards and two touchdowns. Jaren Hall is now in at quarterback.

Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins is expected to remain in Minnesota and not waive his No-trade clause — “short of unforeseen circumstances.”

The Vikings are 1-4 and have their best player, Justin Jefferson, on injured reserve. Minnesota has Chicago, San Francisco and Green Bay before the October 31 trade deadline and Cousins is a free agent after the season. “But short of a contending team with a familiar offense losing its starting quarterback before the NFL's Oct. 31 trade deadline, Cousins is expected to finish the season with the Vikings,” wrote Schefter. Cousins is our No. 11 quarterback this week against the Bears.

Kellen Mond won't get a second season in Minnesota.

The Vikings are waiving the 2021 third-round pick, NFL Network Insider Tom Pelissero reported Tuesday, per a source informed of the situation.

As the story put it, we often see new regimes move on from young players they weren't as high on, and this is a good example. The Vikings front office signaled the likely end of Mond's time in Minnesota when it traded for backup Mullens last week.

Vikings HC Mike Zimmer told reporters Wednesday that QB Kirk Cousins will start Week 18 against the Chicago Bears.

Cousins will get what could be his last start as a Viking at home against the Bears.

Vikings QB Kirk Cousins has been placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list and will miss Week 17 against the Green Bay Packers.
