THE APEX TIMES
Minnesota announced Cousins will wear the familiar No. 8 again, while also re-signing Odell Beckham Jr. to its practice unit and adjusting a rookie defensive back’s jersey number.
The Vikings confirmed that Kirk Cousins will return to wearing No. 8 when he’s back with the team, the same number he wore during his earlier Minnesota run from 2018 to 2023.
Minnesota also addressed the jersey-number ripple effect. The team said rookie safety Jakobe Thomas will wear No. 6 now that Cousins will reclaim No. 8.
In addition to the quarterback uniform update, the Vikings announced they have re-signed receiver Odell Beckham Jr. to their practice squad.
The team’s announcement places the transactions in the context of this stretch of the season, noting Minnesota is 6-2 and that the quarterback was obtained in a trade with the Raiders before the Tuesday NFL trade deadline.
The Vikings said they are scheduled to visit Green Bay for the 133rd Border Battle on Sunday in Week 10, setting the next backdrop for Cousins’ return to the lineup as Minnesota turns to a key division rivalry.
