Cousins stepped back onto the field Wednesday, officially back with the Vikings. Will he ever wear a jersey number?
Has rookie safety Jakobe Thomas, currently wearing No. 8, been consulted yet?
“I need to circle back with him,” Cousins said. “Haven’t gotten there. We’ll talk, and Mike Parsons will help in the equipment room. I’ve got to speak with Jakobe for sure.”
When the topic resurfaced, Cousins laughed but was clear: “I’m confident Jakobe and I can have a healthy, mature conversation and sort this out.”
For my money, fans will gladly swap their No. 8 shirts if Cousins claims the number.
Will we see Cousins in No. 8 when the Vikings hit Lambeau on Sunday?
