Life has been tough on Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins in practice. That’s all by design.

Kirk Cousins remembers a specific play from the other day in practice. There was a breakdown up front, and with pressure in his face, Cousins decided to throw a checkdown to Alexander Mattison out of the backfield. He instantly walked over to quarterbacks coach Chris O’Hara to see if he made the right decision.Should he have finished his read down the field and essentially used the non-contact jersey to his advantage as a way to extend the play? Or should he have done exactly what he did in that situation and just play like he wasn’t wearing a non-contact jersey at all?“That’s kind of the debate we have on these plays,” Cousins said. “We made the point that we want to treat these practices as close to the real thing as we can.”In other words, Cousins has been conditioned to carry himself like he can be hit, which can make life tougher on him in practice.Never mind the joint practices that the Vikings hosted with the Tennessee Titans this wee...

Broncos OLB Randy Gregory: I need to fulfill my end of the contract

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:51:40 GMT

If Randy Gregory’s game is anywhere near his self-awareness, then maybe the Broncos will have something in their dangerous-but-injury-prone outside linebacker.Gregory, whose first year with the Broncos was derailed by a knee injury and his own temperament, said Thursday afternoon that the onus is on him to live up to the $70 million contract he signed with the Broncos in March 2022, which included $28 million guaranteed.“(Living up to expectations has) always been big for me,” Gregory said. “My thing is fulfilling my end of the agreement, and a big part of that is being able to be available and be healthy.”Gregory played in just six games last season owing to arthroscopic knee surgery — though when healthy, he was one of their most impactful defensive players.
