Atlanta Falcons QB Kirk Cousins Wants to Play Preseason, Coach Morris Says No

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins is healthy for training camp, but won't play in the preseason.

Falcons coach Raheem Morris said before practice that any limitations Cousins has won't be noticeable, and Cousins said after the session he's cautiously relieved to be at this stage in his recovery from the torn Achilles he suffered Week 8 last season.

For Cousins, who turns 36 between Atlanta's second and third preseason game, playing in exhibition contests may seem moot - but he wants to. However, Morris privately told his nine-figure signal caller he won't take live snaps until the regular season opener Sept. 8 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. But Cousins, who played in eight preseason games with the Minnesota Vikings from 2018-20 but none before or after, still believes there's value in lacing up the cleats for in-game action.
