Atlanta Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins has been medically cleared to practice in training camp, coach Raheem Morris said Thursday. Cousins' 2023 season ended when he tore his right Achilles playing for the Minnesota Vikings in Week 8. He was able to practice with few limitations during spring OTAs and minicamp. There was a question of whether Cousins would be able to practice in training camp, with the potential of players being near him and around his legs. But Morris said the Falcons would be "comfortable" with that at this stage. Cousins will take the vast majority of the first-team snaps in camp, though there will still be minor restrictions. Atlanta's first practice is scheduled for Thursday morning. "The limitations for [Cousins], you won't notice," Morris said. Cousins said he feels much more athletic and has much less pain than he did six weeks ago.
 
Awesome news for Falcons fans! 🏈 Kirk Cousins has been given the green light to practice at training camp! 🙌 Even though he’s coming off that tough Achilles injury from last season, it sounds like he's feeling great and ready to take on the first-team snaps. Coach Morris is confident about Cousins being back on the field, and it’ll be exciting to see how he performs with just a few minor restrictions.
