What happened: Terron Armstead endorsed a potential reunion between the Minnesota Vikings and Kirk Cousins during a discussion on CBS Sports. Responding to whether Minnesota should initiate a change under center, Armstead indicated he would support a switch if Cousins were the target.

Why it matters: Minnesota's offense struggled to generate momentum in its recent 19-15 defeat to Detroit, sparking outside debate over the quarterback position. Cousins previously spent six seasons in Minnesota and has maintained high passing efficiency across his 2026 starts.

By the numbers: Cousins has completed 180 of 283 passes for 2,124 yards with 19 touchdowns and 5 interceptions in 2026 through 8 games.

What to watch: The Vikings will look to regroup offensively as trade deadline speculation continues across the league.
