What happened: Kirk Cousins will wear the number he used in Minnesota from 2018 through 2023. A Nov. 10 trade brought him back for a 2027 third-round pick.
Why it matters: The jersey decision settles a roster detail ahead of his first game since returning. Minnesota is coming off a 23-6 loss on Nov. 9.
By the numbers: In 2026 through nine games, Cousins has completed 202 of 315 passes for 2,340 yards, 20 touchdowns and eight interceptions.
What to watch: Minnesota's quarterback plans for Sunday remain the next decision.
