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.
