The Minnesota Vikings reacquired quarterback Kirk Cousins on 8 November, but as of 14 November the team still faced questions about its long-term quarterback solution and the impact on the offense. Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said he expected Cousins to start and expressed surprise at the trade’s low compensation.

Vikings head coach Kevin O’Connell initially said it was too early to confirm a start, while general manager Nolan Teasley emphasized that the deal fit the franchise’s long-term plan through the 2026 season. O’Connell later announced that Cousins would start against Green Bay.
