No one should be surprised Cousins hid his injury to keep his spot. The behavior is not uncommon in the NFL. But how will his admission go over with his Falcons teammates?

He should have known this was always a possibility. Cousins put too much faith into an organization that has no reason to be loyal to him. If Minnesota wasn’t going to believe in Cousins after all he did with the Vikings – though he never won a playoff game – why did he think Atlanta would?

The coaching staff didn’t bench Cousins sooner after the injury he suffered during the Saints game in Week 10. That was a mistake. None of that is Kirk Cousins’ fault.
