Kirk Cousins

The Athletic’s Josh Kendall reports Kirk Cousins (Achilles) practiced in full on Thursday.

This news comes just hours after Falcons head coach Raheem Morris said players returning from injury would see “modified reps.” Cousins was fully cleared to return from his torn Achilles earlier today, and while he did log a full session on Thursday, it’s possible days off will be worked in as part of his “modified reps.” One thing that remains unknown is Cousins’ usage in the preseason. Morris said earlier that he wasn’t sure whether or not Cousins would appear in the preseason, but Cousins is already on record saying he’s asked to play in the preseason and was denied. That could change as the team progresses through training camp, but the Falcons’ primary concern is making sure Cousins is healthy and ready for Week 1 when they take on the Steelers.
