He visited and took COVID-19 tests for them earlier this week, so the move was expected. They lost linebacker Anthony Barr to a season-ending pectoral injury, [more]

Kirk Cousins: The urgency’s there, we need production to go with it
Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins posted the worst single-game passer rating of his career in last Sunday’s 28-11 loss to the Colts and he stated the obvious when he spoke to reporters on Wednesday. Cousins said “I’ve got to be better” than he was while going 11-of-26 for 113 yards and three interceptions. The process of [more]
The Vikings are likely stuck with Kirk Cousins through 2022
Minnesota’s overtime win over the Saints in the 2019 wild-card round unlocked new contracts for multiple key members of the organization. The highest paid of the bunch — quarterback Kirk Cousins — likely won’t be going anywhere any time soon, without leaving behind a significant cash and cap burden. The two-year extension signed by Cousins [more]
The Week Two Goats (In a Bad Way) draft
With Week Two over, it’s time to hand out awards. Good ones, and not-so-good ones. The not-so-good come in the form of our Goats (In a Bad Way) draft. On Tuesday’s PFT Live, Simms and I each drafted three coaches or players who deserve criticism for their performances in Week Two. Do you agree? Disagree? [more]
Vikings sign Hardy Nickerson to active roster
Linebacker Hardy Nickerson was one of the practice squad players promoted for the season opener against the Packers. Nickerson, though, reverted back to the practice squad after the game.

DeForest Buckner calls Sunday’s game “a little taste” of what Colts defense can do
The Colts were a surprising loser in Week One as Jaguars quarterback Gardner Minshew went 19-of-20 and threw three touchdowns to lead his team to a 27-20 win. Week Two saw better work from the Indianapolis defense. They held the Vikings to 175 yards while picking off three passes, posting three sacks and recording a [more]
Mike Zimmer on offense: Right now we’re not good at anything
Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins flirted with a 0.0 quarterback rating for much of Sunday’s 28-11 loss to the Colts before finishing the afternoon with a slightly more robust 15.9 mark. That’s an easy shorthand to know that Sunday’s outing was a frightful one for Cousins and the rest of the Vikings Offense. They managed 175 [more]
Stefon Diggs had more receiving yards than the Vikings’ whole team today
The Vikings’ decision to trade their No. 1 wide receiver, Stefon Diggs, did not look wise today.

Jonathan Taylor’s touchdown run gives Colts 7-3 lead
The Vikings and Colts are not having any problem getting in the red zone. The end zone is harder to come by. The Vikings drove to the Colts 3 on their first drive but had to settle for a chip-shot Dan Bailey field goal and a 3-0 lead. The Colts responded with a 67-yard drive [more]
Parris Campbell exits on cart with knee injury
The Colts undoubtedly won’t have receiver Parris Campbell for the rest of today’s game againt the Vikings. The question becomes how long he’ll be out.
