Atlanta Falcons head coach <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/coach/raheem-morris-132696/">Raheem Morris</a> shared some good news about <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/kirk-cousins-75337/">Kirk Cousins</a> when it comes to his health. Morris spoke to reporters after the Falcons’ first day of rookie minicamp and was asked about Cousins and his rehab after tearing his Achilles in October. 



“Kirk is every day improving. We are kind of right at the point where he’s doing everything we can do at this point at Phase 2,” <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WQEMGSi7Yc0" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Morris said, </a>“which is nobody around him, there’s no contact, he’s all good with all those type of things.



“He’s been doing all those things, he’s been throwing, he’s been out there pretty much full go. We got him in a limited basis because he’s still in his rehab in his treatment and all those type of things. He’ll be doing a lot of the things when we get back because we still won’t have a lot of people in the pocket. Most of the stuff is jog-through as you guys know in the offseason programs now.” 



Morris went on to say the Falcons will limit Cousins in terms of the amount of things he does in offseason workouts. “It’s not like training camp where I’m worried about people being around his feet because the pace is so slow and such slower that we feel really good about where he’s at right now,” Morris said.

Cousins played in eight games for the Minnesota Vikings last year before being placed on injured reserve. In March, Cousins signed with the Falcons on a four-year, $180 million contract. It looked like Cousins was going to be the Falcons’ star QB for at least three years. But the Falcons made a shocking move when they drafted <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/michael-penix-jr-88185/">Michael Penix Jr.</a> <a href="https://www.on3.com/pro/news/atlanta-falcons-select-michael-penix-jr-in-first-round-round-of-2024-nfl-draft/">at No. 8 overall last month.</a>



In January, <a href="https://popculture.com/sports/news/minnesota-vikings-qb-kirk-cousins-talks-future-nfl-free-agency-exclusive/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Cousins spoke to PopCulture.com</a> about his injury. “Everything’s trending in the right direction,” Cousins revealed. “I do think that off-season workouts will time up well for me to be able to get back out on the field and be a part of team drills, which is exciting to think about. It doesn’t feel like that long ago that I was walking off the field or hopping off the field and knew my season was over. So, everything’s trending in the right direction and I’m excited to see how it all unfolds in the next few months.”
